> The instructions at that webpage specify downloading AdaCore's GPL Edition of GNAT to which patches are applied. This means that the resulting compiler has the GPL license instead of the GMGPL. If this work was based on GNAT-FSF's compiler instead of AdaCore's GNAT GPL Edition, then it would be more useful, because the resulting apps on OSX produced by this GPS-on-Mac would not need to be GPL licensed.
I don't see any problem here. GPS is a text editor, it can have whatever license. Once you have your text files shiny and ready, feel free (yes, it's about freedom) to build your project from command line using the compiler of your choice with whatever other license (or even on whatever other system with appropriate toolchain).
Don't confuse IDEs with compilers. They don't even need each other.
