What is going on is that the version of gnat in the 3.X.X tree is still
experimental and being
merged. Even x86 Linux has had severe problems. Add to that an relatively
obscure target and
you've got a broken compiler.

Either use GNAT 3.15,
 try to get GNAT Pro (assuming they are willing to sell it to you)
or
Give the version in the gcc CVS archives a try since it has a lot more of
the ACT merges in it.
