You need to first build a GNU/Linux -> Solaris cross-compiler, including Ada support (configure with --target=sparc-sun-solaris), and then use that cross-compiler to build a Solaris hosted compiler (configure with --host=sparc-sun-solaris --target=sparc-sun-solaris). Copy all the Solaris system libraries and header files onto your GNU/Linux box, and use --with-sysroot when building the GNU/Linux -> Solaris cross-compiler. This kind of thing is awkward and often requires some reading of configure scripts and Makefiles, but it is possible. Ian
