Got a step further by running gnatdist in the debugger and setting the
GLADE_LIBRARY_DIR variable. Now gnatdist runs fine, but the make job
chokes on gcc:

gnatdist: building controller caller stubs from .\controller.ads
distribution feature not supported
compilation abandoned
gnatdist: c:\gnat\bin\gcc.exe failed
gnatdist: *** can't continue
make[1]: *** [mainloop] Error 4
