I think your mistake is putting the ".exe" on the gnatbl command. Try

call gnatbl -o  %1  %1.ali
call emxbind -bp -d%1.def -r%1.res d:\gnat30\bin\emxl.exe %1

emxbind dosen't like an exe file as input and will generate an exe file
on output without being told.

Also, I have used either the "-bp" option,
or the ".def" file to make a PM application as independant methods.
