Unless you're using platform specific code, Ada is *very*
transportable. Most of the Ada code I've written compiles without
any problem on OpenVMS, Solaris and IRIX. What I have that doesn't
is a result of DEC Ada only being Ada83 and I've some stuff that is
Ada95 specific.
One thing about Ada that I found rather interesting was mention of an
OS written in Great Britain in the early 80's. It was written in Ada
and ran on the PDP-11.

You can't compile ADA to run on Windows...
