 Can Ada build on any Arm platform?

The only existing GNAT Ada compiler I could find for ARM (while
thinking about doing it for the new Debian eabi port) is Adacore's
Windows->Nucleus OS crosscompiler for Xscale CPUs, though they don't
say what version of GCC they use. Then my funding ran out.
  My impression at the time, and that of the Debian Ada maintainer,
was that it is a case of no one ever having made the effort to
cross-bootstrap a native linux compiler but that it "should just go".

If anyone cares enough I'm open to offers to try it...

It would be good to put another arm OS on it to show it
isn't OS specific.

FWIW arm-rtems Ada built fine for  gcc 4.3.2 and
there are ACATS results here:

http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-testresults/2008-09/msg01305.html

=== acats Summary ===
# of expected passes 2305
# of unexpected failures 7
# of unsupported tests 3

These were run using the edb7312 RTEMS BSP on the
Skyeye simulator.
