How difficult would it be to start programming in Ada for the Maemo
platform? I understand one would need a cross compiler to the armel
target and the gnat runtime for armel and somehow include that in the
(Debian based) Maemo SDK. Is anyone working on this?

Laurent Guerby and others are working on enhancing GNAT so that it
supports arm and armel as a target. Unfortunately, only SJLJ
exception handling works at the moment and SJLJ is both very slow and
non-standard on that architecture; the EABI mandates ZCX. See the
threads stating at:
http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc/2009-08/msg00192.html
http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2009-09/msg00450.html
It is not ready for use yet. I'm sure they'll welcome help.
