You can get the sources for gnat_util at the Libre site in x86 Windows >
GNAT Ada GPL 2014 > Sources.

If you install this before configuring gnatcoll you shouldn't, I think,
need xnamest -- xsnamest is a program generated as part of the compiler
build process:

--  This utility is used to make a new version of the Snames package when new
--  names are added. This version reads a template file from snames.ads-tmpl in
--  which the numbers are all written as $, and generates a new version of the
--  spec file snames.ads (written to snames.ns). It also reads snames.adb-tmpl
--  and generates an updated body (written to snames.nb), and snames.h-tmpl and
--  generates an updated C header file (written to snames.nh).

and gnat_util contains the result appropriate to the compiler it was
built for (in this case, GNAT GPL 2014).
