I haven't read any other replies so I apologize if this is a repeat:

gcc a front end to the compilers, g++, etc.

If you haven't rebuilt gcc to include ada support, you cannot expect gcc
to compile your ada files for you. You want to use gnatmake (try typing
gnat<TAB> in your shell and you should see all possible completions)
