BTW, a fresh GNAT build for DOS is done periodically under the DJGPP project
news:comp.os.msdos.djgpp ; http://www.delorie.com/djgpp/

I have not checked recently how well the DJGPP Ada compiler works, but it is there (ada421b/d.zip 28.07.07):
ftp://ftp.delorie.com/pub/djgpp/current/v2gnu or mirror sites.
