I just tried the same on Mac OS X, with GCC 4.8.0, and got this:

gprbuild -q -m -j1 -XLIBRARY_TYPE=static -Psrc/gnatcoll_tools
Undefined symbols for architecture x86_64:
  "_version_string", referenced from:
      _gnatvsn__gnat_version_string in libgnatcoll.a(gnatvsn.o)
     (maybe you meant: _gnatvsn__gnat_static_version_string, _opt__tree_version_string , _gnatvsn__gnat_version_string )
ld: symbol(s) not found for architecture x86_64
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
gprbuild: link of gnatinspect.adb failed

which is because version.o is constructed at build time and is in the
compiler build tree. You'll probably be OK on Debian, because Ludovic
has separated out the critical version-specific parts of the compiler
into libgnatvsn.

I suppose I could not configure the project-related parts of GNATcoll.

The other package that needs similar treatment is ASIS.
