gnat 3.13p uses gcc 2.8.1 - you haven't mixed anything up with libraries
or other dependencies?

You are using tasks and the tasking in gnat (at least for 3.13p) uses a
undocumented method for accessing some thread information in Solaris.
This broke for Solaris 9.

I did a Makefile 'hack' when compiling GNAT which replaces one file in
the task implementation and this has worked for me. However, the
details of this fix escapes me, but I have it at work. However, I just
went on vacation for two weeks. I can look it up for you if that's soon
enough.
