The problem is it seems reasonable but will eventually lead to version 
number collision.
GCC 4.0 will be realeased fairly soon (Well somewhat soon).

GNAT 4.0  was released in 1997.  GNAT 4.0 was a fully certified 
implementation.  Ada support in GCC 4.0 is likely to be pretty buggy.

I think one can reasonably say (on comp.lang.ada)

"I compiled the following with gcc 3.4.2"

And if the sample code is Ada and the error is not "No Ada compiler 
installed on this system" then we pretty much assume that GNAT stuff is "in 
there".

In any case it is not all that important....But with all the time we spend 
on the ADA v.s. Ada thing it seemed worth a mention ;)
