Oberon for Linux is using a garbage collector developed in C. The people
that created the compiler just interfaced the GC code to the Oberon
compiler. The code is avalaible to the public, the biggest problem with
Ada would be to reimplement the GC in native code in the logic of the
compiler, but regarding stability, this GC has a good rating!
