GVD itself is almost fully Ada, apart from a small C layer for the low-level
communication with gdb.
This small layer might require some work to recompile on linux ppc, but my
guess is that it would work as is.

In fact, probably the most difficult part is to make sure that the gtk+ library
that we use for graphics has been ported to linuxppc. Then recompiling GtkAda
should be straightforward, and gvd should follow.
All that assuming that GNAT is available somewhere on linux/ppc, of course

Volunteers welcome, we don't have any linuxppc machine around :-)
