[[!meta title="Porting GNAT (GCC)"]]
<!-- See also open_issues/gnat. -->
The GNU Ada Translator (GNAT) isn't available for the Hurd so far. There are
also a number of other Debian packages depending on GNAT, and thus not
buildable on the Hurd.
The goal of this project is getting GNAT fully working in Debian GNU/Hurd. It
requires implementing some explicitly system-specific stuff in GNAT, and maybe
fixing a few other problems. Good knowledge of Ada is a must; some Hurd
knowledge will have to be acquired while working on the project.
Possible mentors: Samuel Thibault (youpi), [[Thomas Schwinge
(tschwinge)|tschwinge]].
Exercise: Fix one of the problems preventing GNAT from working on the Hurd.
