configure:3840: cd conftest && gnatchop -q src.ada && gcc -c check.adb  
 > /dev/null 2>../conftest.out
i686-apple-darwin9-gcc-4.0.1: language ada not recognized
i686-apple-darwin9-gcc-4.0.1: language ada not recognized
i686-apple-darwin9-gcc-4.0.1: src.ada: linker input file unused  
because linking not done

 From your information, and this log file
1/ You have a GNAT and the default Mac OS X gcc (presumably)
2/ GNAT and GCC are both in your PATH
3/ _but_ for some reasons the gcc found by configure is GCC 4.0.1 with  
Ada support

to check that, open a terminal, and issue
which gcc
which gnatmake

the which command tells you which gcc is used

I suggest you modify your PATH so that GNAT is in first position

Hope this helps
