If you have an IA32 to IA64 compiler able to produce IA64 executables
from Ada sources, may be it would be better to start by compiling
simple Ada programs (at least simpler than the whole Ada compiler :)
to check if they work. I attached a standalone Ada program to start
with, if you're able to make this work, then I can feed you with more
tests (tomorrow Paris time, need to sleep right now :).

I have included a C wrapper if you have problem binding and/or linking
Ada with the cross tools.
