Hello Erick,

I am using CentOS 8 and am using various packages in the EPEL repository. I am interested in seeing gcc-gnat added to EPEL.
I cannot find a current Fedora maintainer listed for this package, but it is available in Fedora (at least in version 32). Are there any EPEL maintainers who are interested in creating an EPEL version of this package?
given I'm replying to an old thread, I'm not really sure if you're still interested, but https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1983416 is what I now submitted for a package review. Yes, the package might not be perfect because /usr/bin/gcc can not be used directly, but there are alternative GCC frontends such as 'gnatgcc' that worked (at least for me) as expected.
As it can be seen from the RHBZ dependencies, I'm caring about Objective-C support, but I thought it might be worth to cover all missing parts. As far as I can tell "hello world" worked for all built languages and the gcc-epel package can be used also for scenarios with a single compiler but multiple programming languages, e.g. by using CC=gnatgcc (used inside the package to achieve bootstrapping).
