Any of the GNATs around allows you to _write_ non-GPL software.
But not every GNAT around allows you to _distribute_ binaries without
source that include portions of the GNAT RTS.

Permission to write and distribute _sources_ is not affected
by the licensing status of any of the publicly available GNATs
whatever its "exception status" is, WRT distributed _binaries_.

For GNAT GPL, this is all stated on its home pages.
