some time ago I posted the remedy but this obviously did not arrive.
So, once again the remedy:

Maybe some of the problems can be removed for some
by looking at my compile-link-go - file I produced
yesterday evening after getting angry about myself
having forgotten to apply the @#*% "coff2exe" step:

begin of contents of command file clg.bat on MSDOS6.2 :
gcc -c %1.adb
gnatbl -o %1 %1.ali
coff2exe %1
%1
end   of contents of command file clg.bat on MSDOS6.2 

I am using this multistep with one parameter
(where tst is the unit name AND the filename(part) ):

   clg tst

When I have other packages to "with"
I compile them (first) separately with e.g.:
   gcc -c tstpak.ads
and
   gcc -c tstpak.adb
and then finally compile, link, go with
   clg tst

The good news: it works :-)
The bad news: It's nowhere documented (at least
              not inlined the cookbook recipes ;-)
