Where did you get that the "-c" had to be after the file name?  We have gnat
for SunOS and DOS.  Both allow "gcc -c hello.adb".  Could this have
something to do with the problem?

I wonder if you are picking up an old version of gcc, from somewhere in your
path, that was not designed to handle gnat.
