GNAT has had no problems with DLLs already for many versions prior.

Here is an old article for using GNAT 3.11p

http://www.adapower.com/adapower1/articles/howto-gdllc.html

If I recall, the GNAT UG has the current directions which are fairly 
easy. For an example see GNATCOM (which automatically generates for you 
from an idl file a .EXE and .DLL code for a COM object and make.bat to 
compile it)
