This appears to be a bug in the gnat-3.4 package.

You should use the system C compiler (gcc-3.3) and the system Ada
compiler (gnat). I suggest you remove gnat-3.4 and reinstall gnat.
This will make your toolchain consistent with all other Ada
packages in Sarge.

Your Makefile should use CC=gcc, and gnatmake directly. In Sarge,
gcc is a symlink to gcc-3.3; gnatmake and gnatkink correctly
invoke gnatgcc, the Ada-aware gcc 2.8.1 compiler driver.

Your Makefile should link libservices.so to libgnat explicitly.
See the Debian Ada Policy[1] for detailed instructions on how to
do this.
