GCC now on my machine is picking up the gcc in /usr/local/gnat-2012/bin/gcc and
$ gcc -v
Using built-in specs.

gcc version 4.5.4 20120510 for GNAT GPL 2012 (20120509) (GCC)
So what can go wrong having the above?
I think the GCC that is already installed on my machines does not come with the Ada language enabled.
You would also loose some hot bug

What kind of fixes? Does AdaCore not periodically fix their GNAT?
I had earlier installed pure Debian in a Virtual Box but I got only a very small screen with a bad resolution. This problem is very common if you make a google search and there is no standard fix to it. So yes pure Debian boasts to be the best but it does not seem to do much effort as far as hardware compatibility is concerned. If people wants to use pure Debian and spend countless hours to tweak settings in order to get the proper screen resolution, then it is their choice.
I have Linux mint Debian and Crunchbang Linux in two Virtual Boxes and I did not have any problems with screen resolutions. As they are both direct derivatives of Debian, so why not use them?
I have earlier installed Debian Ada on Linux mint and on Crunchbang and then I got the same error message when launching GPS. I do not have the error message with me but the tips popup is not displayed when GPS is launched and a message is displayed in the message panel in GPS. Perhaps this is the reason that I went for GPL GNAT and here GPS launches well (I had to install the libjpeg62 library though on Crunchbang).
