Maybe you found the Windows (or Linux OpenVMS HPUX...) ones ? The
GNAT/DOS is in ez2load distrib. (see below).

Note that there are still DOS freaks who persist to build the latest
GNAT for DJGPP (now: 3.12p on ). Latest binaries @
 http://members.xoom.com/gnatlist/ (if XOOM is not down...).
The currently "packaged" GNAT/DOS is 3.10 and already the work of
volunteers (some of them claim that it could pass a complete Ada95
validation suite) ! To download: ftp://ftp.gwu.edu/pub/ada/ez2load/ or
ftpsearch for "ez2load" or "ezl1998*" (a copy on Simtel.Net).
On GNATlist mailing list there are specialists of the question. To join the list:
<<     * How to subscribe to GNATLIST ? Just send a single line message of the form

              subscribe gnatlist your-first-name your-last-name 

       to the mailing list server listproc AT seas DOT gwu DOT edu. 
       * How to send messages to GNATLIST ? Once subscribed, you can send your messages to
gnatlist AT seas DOT gwu DOT edu. As a member, you should
       receive the message you just sent - what a joy!

A "clean" solution (tested for making GNAT/DOS and GNAT/Win
live together) is to effectively install the "ez2load" pack
separately. The DOS install program generates a batch-file (gnat310.bat)
with all env. var. settings needed.
Just run it before usage and everything works!
So, to make both DJGPPs live together, you could make use of the
capacity of command.com to duplicate environment and forget it at exit.
Just an idea...
