I was rather thinking of the precise package names. On SuSE 10.0 they are:

gcc-ada-4.0.2_20050901-3
libada-4.0.2_20050901-3
gcc-ada-32bit-4.0.2_20050901-3
libada-32bit-4.0.2_20050901-3

And the filenames:

gcc-ada-32bit-4.0.2_20050901-3.x86_64.rpm
gcc-ada-4.0.2_20050901-3.x86_64.rpm
libada-32bit-4.0.2_20050901-3.x86_64.rpm
libada-4.0.2_20050901-3.x86_64.rpm

BTW: I googled as far that I know that Fedora has lib packages (libada,
libgnat??) as well.

They also have an AMD64 based on a more modern Fedora.
