I checked. gnatmem is no longer part of GCC and no longer available
from a public source repository, but only as part of GNAT GPL Edition;
the sources are separate from the sources of GCC or GNAT. This
ChangeLog entry from the Subversion repository for GCC is
explicit:

If someone would like to package gnatmem from GNAT GPL Edition for
Debian, they are welcome and I'll sponsor the package; but in the mean
time I recommend valgrind.
