Hum, this is quite a big problem. It seems that your compiler is not
working properly. What is the ouptut for:

   $ gnatls -v
   $ which gcc
   $ which gnatmake

Fine, I'm using this version of make too.

I would just install AWS:

   $ make prefix=/path/to/install
   $ make setup build install

And tar/zip the install directory (/path/to/install). This should work fine.
