Tried that and it didn't help. In either case I have WinGW\Bin set in
my $PATH before the GNAT\bin entry so it would be searched first. Also
while both libs are in the $PATH they have differing names so there
shouldn't be a conflict. GPS works well either way. Thanks for the
info.

I just downloaded the MinGW manually and installed it one package at a
time. I didn't make any entries into my registry. Do you know how I
can determine if I have the wrong compiler or need to make an entry in
my registry?
