No it won't, as gcc needs to be built with support for Ada in order to
handle it properly.  I am not aware of any distribution that includes
Ada in the default GNU CC suite.

Not necessarily.  If you are using any of the other languages that use
the GNU CC compiler, its easier to manage by building from sources.  If
not, then just install the binary available from ACT's ftp site.
