Do you have the GNU C or C++ compilers installed on this system (in addition 
to GNAT)?


>What the heck is 'collect2'???

From the GCC manual:

  collect2

  GNU CC uses a utility called collect2 on nearly all systems to arrange to 
  call various initialization functions at start time.

  The program collect2 works by linking the program once and looking through 
  the linker output file for symbols with particular names indicating they are 
  constructor functions.  If it finds any, it creates a new temporary .c file 
  containing a table of them, compiles it, and links the program a second time 
  including that file.

Collect2 is not used or installed by GNAT, so it sounds as though either the 
wrong "gcc" is being used (e.g., there's another gcc on yuor system somewhere 
in the PATH), or the wrong "specs" file is being used (again, because there's 
another one on your system).

If you're certain the installation went OK, I'd check your PATH, environment 
variables affecting GCC (GCC_EXEC_PREFIX, etc. -- they're listed in the GCC 
manual), and the system registry under:

  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Free Software Foundation
