I'm not sure, looking at The Computer Language Benchmark Game.

Do you, by any chance, know the state of gnat-4.4 in Debian vs Ubuntu?
The Ada ranking in the Shootout benchmark appears to be suffering from
gcc-4.4 in Ubuntu. The Mandelbrot program, for example, once ran fine
and fast on all kinds of GNAT supported platforms.  It has now been replaced
with its precursor (which runs more slowly), since the executable
produced by gcc-4.4 gives bad output.

This isn't the first time that GCC's GNAT part appears to be behind the
C and C++ frontends, in terms of quality.  This spoils some efforts.
What needs to be done?
