Thanks for the updates, Simon.

I don't expect much handholding here but I thought that I should at
least report my results.

I updated my system to OS X 10.6.7 and Xcode to 3.2.6.

After downloading c2ada from SVN, rev 23, I cd-ed to the distribution
directory and built by ./setup and make which created c2ada. I then
ran c2ada (still cd-ed to the distribution dir) on two very small C
programs in another directory. The first one

int main(void)
{
    int a;
    a = 1;
    return 0;
}

resulted in a useful Ada package. However, the second one

#include <stdio.h>
int main(void)
{
    printf("Hello World\n");
    return 0;
}

resulted in just a skeleton Ada package with no useful lines. (Other
files were also created.) The terminal output had a few lines that
looked troublesome. I tried with -I/usr/include which is where stdio.h
is stored but it made no difference in the output, at least with
respect to the corresponding Ada package.
