I share my experience, just in case it's useful for anyone.

I tried with GNAT CE 2021 and gnatcoll-db 2021, but had problems with 
that combination. I finally used gnat-9 and gnatcoll packages provided 
by Ubuntu 20.04, but had to add ".all" for "error: access discriminant 
in return object..." and remove the option to consider warnings as 
errors in "standard_common.gpr". Different compiler versions produce 
different warnings, so that flag might be counterproductive for 
distribution. The problem with 2021 version might have been the same, 
not sure about it.
