Well, yes, correct.
And that is the (license) difference between GNAT FSF and GNAT GPL
 - The runtime.
So replacing the runtime with non-gpl runtime,
or runtime with gpl-exception would make that
outcome non-gpl, unless other reasons (libs) makes it GPL.

But using GNAT GPL as is, (with default runtime) will make outcome GPL
while GNAT FSF as is, will not.
