+[[!meta title="Porting GNAT (GCC)"]]
+
+An initial port of the GNU Ada Translator (GNAT) is available for the Hurd.
+
+The goal of this project is to continue improving and polishing that port and
+getting it integrated in the upstream GCC repository. It
+requires implementing some explicitly system-specific stuff in GNAT (mostly in
+its runtime libraries), and for that also address a number of issues in Hurd
+and other libraries. Knowledge of Ada is a must; some Hurd
+knowledge will have to be acquired while working on the project.
+
+Designing and implementing [[language_bindings]] is a follow-up project.
+
+Possible mentors: [[Samuel Thibault (youpi)|samuelthibault]], [[Thomas Schwinge
+(tschwinge)|tschwinge]].
+
+Exercise: Fix one of the known issues of GNAT on the Hurd.
