It would be good to put another arm OS on it to show it

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.
