Hmmmm.  I wonder if this is just a spoof....

First of all, make sure you apply the two updates that can be found
in ftp.cs.yale.edu/pub/gnat/updates/gnat301a or on the nyu site.

(If you want to be automatically notified when updates come out, let
me know and I'll put you on the list to recieve  GNAT/Win32 NEWS)

Secondly, you can see more about what is going on by using the -v switch
with gnatmake.  In this case, you are interested in linker related problems,
so you want to pass "-v" as a linker argument:

   gnatmake file -largs -v


Make sure that you don't have a file called "specs" in your current directory
that would override the normal specs file used by gcc.

If these three suggestions don't clear up your problem, send me email
and we can make sure it is not a problem with our installer.
