Right, here's the email I sent earlier titled "Building GNAT (Ada) 4.2.2
for bare hardware"

Hi,

I'm looking to build a version of gnat (Ada) for bare hardware but it
requires dirent.h which isn't supported by newlib.

My targets are i386-elf, x86_64-elf, mips-elf and mipsel-elf. I'm
attempting to write an OS  from scratch using Ada and don't require much
of the runtime like tasking, exceptions, file IO, etc.

For more of idea of what I'm planning, go to http://www.archeia.com and
look for the TAMP entry.

Can somebody point me in the right direction?

Thanks,
Luke A. Guest.


Once and for all, I'm not wanting RTEMS!

Luke.
