There is a bug preventing from using MinGW/MSYS to build it successfully. Of course, this bug has reported by folks at MinGW.

I am in agreement that Ada compiler is not complete if run-time tasking is not supported. Is there any plan to support it in the future?

OT for this list, but you may be interested to know that the
MINGW version supports Ada tasking.

I haven't delved into it, but the GNAT manual indicates that
Ada tasking support is pretty simple if you have a minimal
amount of POSIX support. Of course, you discovered that it
doesn't quite work OOTB. Since I was just toying around when
I ran into this, I found it easier to just install MINGW.
Personally, I don't see the point in supporting Ada if you
don't support tasking, but maybe that's just me. :-)
