Use Ada code in Android

Is there any possibility to use old Ada code in Android?

I have an old script written in Ada and it would be great if I could just use that code in Android directly (via NDK or JNI etc). Is this possible? Or should I rather port the code?

Here are some links I found but I don't really understand in what extend they answer my question:

http://code.google.com/p/javada/

http://code.google.com/p/jgnat/

I think it unlikely that you could just compile the code with some particular cross-compiler, drop it on an Android, and have it work, unless it was perhaps some kind of toy program.

That said, DragonLace provides GNAT AUX, a FreeBSD-hosted port of the GNAT Ada compiler for Android.
