First, I asked above where you got GCC 13.2.0 from; you certainly didn't
get it from one of my builds.

If you got it via Homebrew, then be aware that homebrew's gcc *does*
*not* *support* *Ada* (or gprbuild).

There are two ways I know of for getting hold of GNAT and gprbuild:

(1) go to https://alire.ada.dev/docs/#introduction and follow the steps
at 'alr for macOS', then 'First steps' ... This provides GCC 12.2.0 for
x86_64 (intel), which runs on an M1/M2 mac under Rosetta.

(2) go to my release page at
https://github.com/simonjwright/distributing-gcc/releases and download

for Intel:
https://github.com/simonjwright/distributing-gcc/releases/tag/gcc-13.1.0-x86_64

for M1/M2:
https://github.com/simonjwright/distributing-gcc/releases/tag/gcc-13.1.0-aarch64-2

(in both cases, the actual download is found under Assets at the bottom
of the page; but please read the release notes for what's included and
how to install).
