Here's the fix until gnat is updated for glibc2.1.  The Linux-Ada team
created a stand-alone package that loads all of the required libraries
without interfering with the existing glibc files or the current c compiler
(egcs or whatever you are using).  The README on the web site below explains
in more detail.  The files you need are gnat-3.11p-1-13.i386.rpm and
gnat-3.11p-devel-1-13.i386.rpm.  Thanks to Aidan Skinner for the solution
and all others who had a suggestion.
