I don't understand this. To use GTK outside GtkAda bindings? What for?

This looks like a project management problem rather than Gtk/GtkAda.

In that case you should find a GUI framework for which there already exist
ready-to-use bindings. If I ever looked into Gtk sources then only for
finding Gtk bugs. It would be a horror scenario if looking into the sources
were required for daily GUI developing. Gtk is far from perfect but at
least this torture you are spared from. I am sure that the same could be
said about any other popular GUI framework.
