   Use the gdb that comes with your GNAT distribution (look at "bin" 
folder). It should output something like this:

GNU gdb 5.1.1.gnat.3.15p
Copyright 2002 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
Ada Core Technologies version of GDB for GNAT Professional
....

   Then, take a look at chapter 23 of GNAT's Users Guide.
