Look for two files, "cc1" and "cpp" in your GNAT installation directory
(eg. /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-Ada-linux/2.8.1 on my box). I believe one of
them actually translate or pre-process Ada source to C.

I don't have the time to hack GNAT source to verify this. This is just a
pointer from my faint experience. After all I don't bother to translate
Ada to C. :)
