That sounds like it might be the initialization bug in GPRbuild 2011:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=853866

If so, you might want to upgrade to Fedora 19 which has GPRbuild 2012.
As a quick test to see if the bug is in GPRbuild you can set
GNAT_BUILDER=gnatmake on the Make command line.

I'm not a GCC or GPRbuild maintainer so I would be the wrong person to
send email to. If it turns out to be a problem with how GCC is packaged
in Fedora, then please report it in Red Hat Bugzilla. If the bug is
present in upstream GCC, then it's probably better to report it in GCC
Bugzilla.
