I am not suggested to bootrap GNAT only. I AM suggesting that the bootstrap
should only be done with your existing GNAT gcc and not a mix of a C only
gcc and a GNAT gcc.

Remove /opt/sfw/bin from your path so that when you type

which gcc

You get

/opt/sfw/bin/gnat/gcc

It looks to me like configure is finding a gcc that does not know how to
compile Ada.

There are ways of using one gcc for bootrapping the Ada part and one for the
C part but there
probably is not good reason for that in most cases.
