Not sure these will help ...

$ gnatgcc --print-libgcc-file-name
/opt/gcc-4.7.0/lib/gcc/x86_64-apple-darwin11/4.7.0/libgcc.a

or

$ gnatgcc --print-file-name=libgcc.a
/opt/gcc-4.7.0/lib/gcc/x86_64-apple-darwin11/4.7.0/libgcc.a

or the surprising

$ gnatgcc --print-file-name=adalib/libgnat.a
/opt/gcc-4.7.0/lib/gcc/x86_64-apple-darwin11/4.7.0/adalib/libgnat.a
