     @PhenomX6 by platform you mean architecture right?
     not surprising, pascal/ada aren't that popular

     @PhenomX6 TBH I was quite surprised when I have found out that Ada compiler in GNU Compiler Collection is self-hosted, so you can't build it just having a C compiler which is sufficient to build everything else except for Ada.

     So the #1 reason the Ada compiler in GCC is a bitch to build is you need to create a runtime for it. Which isn't a problem if your platform has ada of some sort but I'm talking "obscure (except to gamers) 80s/90s Japanese computers". Sure you can use Ada/GNAT if you run a bloated BSD OS instead of it's original DOS ripoff OS...
     
     Older versions required you to write out a specification and all that fun shit. There's an LLVM port to m68k but who gives a fuck about LLVM and Apple outside of Linux on some big arch anyway? In fact Windows on ARM sucks ass because it only has LLVM and MSVC, not GCC.

     @PhenomX6 At least LLVM/Clang allows you to build software written in Go that has some dependencies written in C. I did like tinkering with Windows on ARM on my old Lumia until battery went bad enough so it started randomly powering off: https://social.librem.one/@m0xee/109669359422192897
