hi list,

does anybody use OpenBSD as Ada programming platform?



Take a look at the list of availble packages -
http://www.openbsd.org/4.0_packages/i386.html - and search for gnat.

Last time I looked into gnat on OpenBSD I stumbled across some problems.
The fpu was not initialized, so using floating point arithmetic lead to
interesting results.
Also there was no support for tasking in the gnat package. I did make a
patch that resolved those issues, but other things distracted me from
making it final. I will try to rework this on a machine running current,
so that those patches could go into ports.

The patches I got here are dated from 8. Sep 2006 for gcc-4.1 in current
at that time. I will check if they still work when I get access to a
current machine tomorrow.
