gcc -v gives among others:

COLLECT_LTO_WRAPPER=c:/gant/2011/bin/../libexec/gcc/i686-pc-mingw32/4.5.3/lto-wrapper.exe
Target: i686-pc-mingw32
Configured with:  (lots of stuff, among them:)
     --build=i686-pc-mingw32  -enable-threads=win32
Thread model: win32
gcc version 4.5.3 20110428 for GNAT GPL 2011 <20110428> <GCC>

gnatls -v gives 2 paths:

C:/GNAT/2011/lib/gcc/i686-pc-mingw32/4.5.3/adainclude/

C:/GNAT/2011/lib/gcc/i686-pc-mingw32/4.5.3/adalib/

yes (no complaint on compilation).

I am not familiar with how to examine the generated code. I should
be grateful, if you could further help me with the information above
in obtaining the answer to my question.
