Not only has devkitAdv been dead for years, but that particular link gave my Avast! Antivirus a nice Malware warning. If you didn't get such a warning with your anti-virus program, or don't have one, then I suggest you go get something. Avast! Antivirus is free for personal use, so there is an option.

Go to devKitPro to get what we use for GBA/DS programming.

The zip file works fine for me, no viruses found from Microsoft Security Essentials.
Also devkitadv is old and not properly configured like a modern ARM gcc distribution.
