May be you should have a look at florist:

http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Ada_Programming/Platform/POSIX
http://www.cs.fsu.edu/~baker/florist.html

For the assembler stuff; if you really need it refer to the GNAT 
manual and what what is written in the gnuasm manual; e.g. 

http://tigcc.ticalc.org/doc/gnuasm.html
