Gnat don't understand the *.obj files, but you can write in GNU assembler.
GCC compile assembler files *.s and make *.o files. Also you can get
assembler source from ADA source by -S compiler option.

gcc -S -O2 essaicalc.adb

try
-O1 without optimization
-O2 optimization
-O3 strong optimization

from 
---------essaicalc.ads
package essaicalc is
Procedure essaicalcul (n1,n2:integer; r1,r2 : out integer);
end essaicalc;

---------essaicalc.adb
package body essaicalc is
Procedure essaicalcul (n1,n2:integer; r1,r2 : out integer) is
begin
r1 := n1+n2;
r2 := n1*n2;
end;
end essaicalc;

I have get assembler code, this is a main fragment :

_essaicalc__essaicalcul:
.stabn 68,0,2,LM1-_essaicalc__essaicalcul
LM1:
LBB2:
LBE2:
	pushl %ebp
	movl %esp,%ebp
	pushl %ebx
	movl 8(%ebp),%ebx
	movl 12(%ebp),%eax
	movl 16(%ebp),%edx
.stabn 68,0,5,LM2-_essaicalc__essaicalcul
LM2:
	movl %eax,%ecx
	addl %edx,%eax
	imull %edx,%ecx
	movl %eax,(%ebx)
	movl %ecx,4(%ebx)
	movl %ebx,%eax
	movl -4(%ebp),%ebx
	movl %ebp,%esp
	popl %ebp
	ret $4

I'm using Gnat 3.10 for Win32. I think you can get same results in GNAT for
MSDOS.
IMHO Gnat for MSDOS is 32bit compiler, not 16 :

>	ADD	AX,[BP+8]

You mean probably -O0. -O1 turns on some optimizations such as
putting variables into registers even when the "register" keyword is
not present (when compiling C code), it turns on -fthread-jumps and
-fdefer-pop, etc. See "man gcc" for details.

Indeed, -O1 does substantial optimization, a typical behavior for many
programs is that -O1 saves a lot over -O0, but -O2 does not save that
much more over -O1.

I believe you want something like the following:

procedure Test2;
pragma Import(Convention => Ada, Entity => Test2, Link_Name =>
  "calcul"); -- use whatever name is in .obj in place of "calcul"
             -- use Ada's name in place of Test2.
pragma Linker_Options("myobjfile.obj"); -- rename myobjfile to your name
