What version?

See ada-mode.info, node Installation | Ada executables.

Where did you look for help on this issue? It's a common one, so I try
to make the correct information easily findable.

Unfortunately, a web search usually leads to the out-of-date manual at
http://www.nongnu.org/ada-mode/ada-mode.html ; I'm working on getting
that removed.

(to allow building just the parser)

I've never actually tried this, but it should be possible

I've never seen this error; I don't get it on my system with any version
of GNAT Community Edition.

Please run gprbuild with -vh (either edit build.sh, or run gprbuild
directly), and report the full commmand that gets this error (only need
one instance of it).
