AdaCore used to supply the compiler for Alpha and Itanium VMS as part
of an agreement between AdaCore and DEC.

That VMS support was dropped several years ago by AdaCore.

Given the nature of the Ada market, any such port would probably need
to be done, and fully supported, by a commercial company.
