GNAT Community 2018 most certainly does work in Debian for Windows.  I use =
it almost every day.  What is difficult is *installing* it with the latest =
GUI installer.  I would up installing it one time on a real Linux machine a=
nd creating a Debian package file from said installation.  The package file=
 is available at my custom Debian package repository http://repo.munts.com/=
debian9/.

The Debian native GNAT toolchain also works fine, as do cross-compilers for=
 MuntsOS Embedded Linux (https://github.com/pmunts/muntsos).

I have a twisted mind:  I generally run Debian for Windows in a Windows 10 =
virtual machine running on either Debian Linux or MacOS.  It works amazingl=
y well that way...
