I favor UNSUPPORTED for this, because the Ada compiler failed to run
on that platform. Thus Ada is unsupported on that specific machine.
It's a bit of an assumption to go from that specific machine to all
machines of that platform, though.
I won't object if someone gives a result of UNTESTED in a situation
like this, though.
