  Given what I've heard implementing Ada on Unix is difficult to begin with,
added to the apparent lack of interest in the world at large, I expect the
answer to this will be no. But what the hay?

  Has anyone ported Ada to FreeBSD? I can live w/o true certification - I'd
just like something to act as more or less a syntax checker before I start
paying for computer time.
