First of all "suffering from multi-day linking operations" is a characteristic
of an implementation not a language. Certainly it is clear that linking an
Ada program should take no more or less time thank linking an equivalent
C program, and certainly GNAT (and I would think lots of other Ada compilers)
achieve this equivalence in practice.
