GNAT 3.15p does not contain support for the gnat pretty printer capability
that GPS uses. I've posted a few times the fact that gnat 3.15 is not really
fully compatible with GPS and that it leaves people
thinking GPS is more broken than it already is.

When gcc 3.4 is finally released and then updated for mingw you should
be able to get this capability. Note that this is just more than a package
that
you need to download for this to work. It really needs to be fully
supported by the compiler.
