I would say just get the source tarball of gcc 4.3.x from
https://gcc.gnu.org/releases.html and build it yourself
with the languages you want, ie. add gnat (ada) to the list.
(Not sure, but I think by default it generates all languages, incl. ada, ie. gnat)
For the HP platforms check also http://hpux.connect.org.uk/
