You don't.  You reduce the hundreds of files to one or two files with
only the few lines of sources that trigger the bug.  And, because this
is a compiler bug, you don't involve GtkAda in the reproducer.

I realize that that's probably not the answer you wanted to hear, but
unless you have a support contract with AdaCore (which means you don't
use gcc-4.6 on Ubuntu or Windows), the probability that someone will
reduce such a big test case for you, before starting to investigate
the compiler bug, is, honestly, zero.

Sorry to be so blunt, I wanted to avoid disappointment later on :)
