Yes, but the bottom line is:
-it is easier to create an ELF on a unix like system.
Creating the elf includes linking the elf.

Which Mac compilers/computers not capable of producing i386?

Well, AdaCore's compiler is not exactly GNU, although basically they
maintain the code base for a couple of years now. ;)

Is the GNU ada compiler certified?
Not officially, no, but AFAIR it should at least pass the ACATS test
suite, otherwise it wouldn't be allowed to be called an Ada compiler. ;)
But certification, especially in the avionics business, is a different
matter anyway, because it always

Interesting..
