This implies that you want to use gnatcoll with gnat-gpl-2014; that
means you have to compile it with GNAT GPL 2014, _not_ cygwin gnat or
GNAT Pro.

You must compile gnatcoll with the compiler you want to use it with;
make sure that compiler is first (or only) in PATH.

If you have GNAT Pro, you have access to AdaCore tech support, so you
can ask them.

I suspect you meant "GNAT GPL 2014" above, instead of GNAT Pro. In that
case, you need to ensure gnat-gpl-2014/bin is before /bin in the Cygwin
PATH.
