Answering myself partially on this one; it looks like you can't?

I dug through the source for gnatmake etc in gcc-4.7-20111015/gcc/ada
and found strings (more than one) that would indicate that "gcc" is
hardcoded and not configuable.

I'm no Ada programmer (I want this so I can learn!), so I may be
missing something, but its not looking good so far.

Next step is to hack the source and see. Yuk! :-)
