I didn't have the problem you did specifically, but I ran into problems both building it (because I couldn't get the provided binary to work) and running the provided binary (it would most often fail to run make install on Gnoga. The only configuration I have gotten working currently is now mingw64 with the Gnoga provided gprbuild, but I had to run gprconfig to generate a cgpr file to point it to the correct target (the Gnoga provided one is for 32bit and mingw64 is a diff target). I haven't gone back to see if I could do something similar with TDM-GCC, but I imagine I could generate a similar type of cgpr file. Unfortunately none of my issues involved programs not running correctly after building. I'm actually surprised it had that kind of effect since it only uses external tools to do the building. I wonder if a particular default setting it uses internally for GCC is causing the problem? Sorry I don't have anything better for you.
