Homebrew OS and Ada

I've started to go back to my OS again and looking at it it'd be quite handy to write parts in Ada and possibly C++.

Hopefully I can get these two things by compiling GCC with the newlib support in there and it'll use the newlib library calls (for things like memory allocation) which'll route into the current C memory code via syscalls.

This'll be quite nice as I like Ada and having the complex parts of the OS written in Ada has some nice advantages, including generics.

We'll see!
