Actually I'd recommend using 
   pragma Linker_Options ("-lFoo");

in the package using the function. This way you don't need to
think about all required linker options when using some packages
in your program. In this case, when "ada-program" uses some package, which
imports function foo defined in library foo, you only have to
type the command:
   
   gnatmake ada-program

and your program will be build and the library will be linked in.
It can't get much easier. (Try this when using C only.)
