I got a successful build with macOS GNAT CE 2021. However, using it
failed with

Execution of /Users/simon/.emacs.d/elpa/ada-mode-7.1.6/gpr_query terminated by unhandled exception
raised PROGRAM_ERROR : gnatcoll-sql_impl.adb:198 accessibility check failed
Load address: 0x1066e1000
Call stack traceback locations:
0x106932523 0x10693255f 0x10699b420 0x10699b5e9 0x10699b143 0x106988f88 0x1067830d4 0x1066f0fb1 0x106feb430

which is an unfortunate bleeding-edge interaction between the compiler
and gnatcoll-db:v21.0.0 (there are mutterings in the source at this line
about "GNAT bug OB03-009").

Building with FSF GCC 11.1.0 is looking good.

Which version of gnatcoll-db did you use, Fernando? The ada-mode README
isn't very prescriptive.
