AdaCore, and one reason they deserve much praise, up streams most of their improvements on gcc/ada back to the FSF. So the FSF compiler is not identical but close to older versions of AdaCore's products.
When compiling gcc there are many options and features not just on the Ada side, so they will never be identical.
Based on your previous questions, in terms of language features they are both Ada 2012 compilers and the same sort of gnat specific extensions, etc. would be in both, etc. So for professional use FSF gcc/ada is a good choice. In particular on platforms with maintainers like GNU Linux/Debian and Mac.

GNAT-GPL from the libre site, other than license differences, is optimized by AdaCore with the build choices they make for their customers and using the same sources and tools as their PRO product. It also can lag a bit behind their PRO product but GNAT-GPL is a very solid build of gcc/ada and a good demo of their PRO builds, less the PRO support of course which is AdaCore's real product and is worth every penny.
If I had a project in AdaCore's niche at the moment and it had the funding needed for it, I wouldn't think twice about PRO product, ie. their support. (although maybe I'd use a fake name at this point when negotiating the contract ;)
