This process is described here (as well as the opposite process where
the main program is Ada);

http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gnat_ugn_unw/Interfacing-to-C.html#Interfacing=

Also, see the Ada Reference Manual:

http://www.adaic.com/standards/05rm/html/RM-B-3.html


FWIW, I've done this sort of thing using GPC, the GNU Pascal compiler,
with good results.
