One other option is to build GNAT-JVM from source.
It's not so difficult, all is well described in source archive.
I wrote a how to (in French but you can understand easily instructions) for GNAT-JVM 2011 on MacOS, see:
http://blady.pagesperso-orange.fr/creations.html#jgnat
http://blady.pagesperso-orange.fr/telechargements/jgnat/jvm-gnat-osx.pdf (§2 Construction...)

In fact, I fell in an Java error I couldn't recover:
java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: Applet
See http://blady.pagesperso-orange.fr/alpha.html at section JGNAT (old name) and test case:
http://blady.pagesperso-orange.fr/telechargements/jgnat/Essai_Ada.zip

If you try building source, I'm interested in your feedback using JVM.
Best Pascal.
