You probably need to give "ald" an extra link-time option to tell
it to include the math library.
I'm not a user of Alsys Risc Ada, but Rational VADS and most
Unix C compilers require such options also when you use
floating point operations.

See if "ald" supports a "-l" (library) option.
If ald works like some other linkers, you may just need to insert "-lm"
(library - math) after the "ald" command.
