Sorry, but I can't really enlighten you.  I've only been with AdaCore
for a little over a year, and I don't really know the answer to your
question.  I know that the latest version of GNAT Pro has full support
for Ada 2005 (although there are probably some bugs).  I know that
AdaCore merges all that stuff into the FSF source tree periodically,
as a service to the Ada community, but I don't know any details about
gcc version numbers and the like.

I worked on one of the last Ada 2005 features to be added to GNAT --
AI-318, which is about constructor functions for limited types.  A very
cool feature, I say!
