GNAT - up to 3.13 - functions on a patched gcc, so without the patched
DJGPP, no way.

Yep - see the site here: http://www.mysunrise.ch/users/gdm/gnatdos.htm
There are binaries for GNAT 3.12p and GNAT 3.13p. 

But if you don't need the latest GNAT gadgets (xref for gnathtml in .ali
files etc.) the EZ2LOAD (GNAT 3.10p) version is already quite interesting.
E.g. you already have the cross-unit inlinings (-gnatp) as well the usual
gcc optimizations. So, I recommend to use EZ2LOAD, using separate
directories. The batch-file made by install (gnat310.bat) allows to start
a GNAT session easily. The co-existence of the Windows and DOS GNATs
is also possible, by not mixing things.

Some resources for Ada, Ada & GNAT, Ada & GNAT & DOS there:
