It's not difficult to use a newer Gnat on top of Debian, if that is your 
only objection. I don't know what the formal objections to updating Gnat 
(and its immediate dependencies) to "testing", perhaps Ludovic can say.

But I have built gcc4.7.2 from source and not seen any glitches (beyond 
having to set paths so it can find libraries) and I believe Adacore Libre  
Gnat would work too. Building from source might not be recommended for a 
server though!
