You'll have to use GNAT. It's not going to be fun.

We have autoconf tell us if a suitable version of gnat is installed. If one
isn't, then we do not try to build the gnat compiler.
I believe the autoconf stuff (at least a skeleton for it) is already in the
tree for those of us who sometimes have the gnat sources in our source tree :-)
