I suggest you install the package gcc3ada from www.blastwave.org; this
is GCC 3.4.5 with Ada enabled. If you would like a more recent
version, use gcc3ada to compile GCC 4.3.3 with Ada. It would be nice
if you would then contribute your packages back to blastwave.

PS. I recommend against package gcc4ada (GCC 4.0.2) because of bugs
resulting from the introduction of Tree-SSA in GCC 4.0 (i.e. impedance
mismatches between the Ada front-end and the GCC 4.0 back-end).
