Go to a system (say, i386 ;-) ) which has a gnat binary, and build a
cross-compiler version of GCC 3.3 (including gnat) from that system to your
amd64 system. (You'll have to build it from the upstream sources, and
you'll probably also need to build a cross assembler. This is a complex
and annoying process, unfortunately; I've been trying to make it better,
but no luck yet.)
Then, use the cross tools you just built (amd64-gcc, amd64-gnat, etc.) to
build binaries for amd64 -- the first one will be a copy of GCC including
gnat. (That's a "cross-built native", and it's also rather annoying
complex at the moment.) Move those to your amd64 machine, and you have a
compiler which you can use to bootstrap GCC.
Sorry this is such a complicated process, but you do only have to do it
once; once you have one working GCC with gnat on amd64, you can just use it
to build the next one, etc.
