I don't think so.

Red Hat Linux 9 comes with the FSF version of GNAT, which is included
as part of GCC.  Unfortunately, this version is considered alpha
quality because the integration between the Ada front-end and the GCC
3.2 back-end (code generators and optimisers) is still work in
progress.

You would be better off using the Public version of GNAT, which is at
this point 3.15p.  It uses an older GCC back-end (2.8.1) but is very
stable.  You can find a complete binary distribution, complete with
Glade and ASIS, on ftp://ftp.cs.nyu.edu/pub/gnat/3.15p.

If you want to ascertain the version of GNAT you are using, try this:

$ gnatmake -v foo
