They are not Ada libraries but Ada bindings. And the real problem you are
going to have is to find a replacement for the Libraries those binding are
binding to.

i.E. For Win32* you will need a Linux replacement for "win32.dll".

I like to point out that you would have the same problem if the code was
written in C (so it would be unfair to say "damm you Ada") in which case
you would look for a replacement of "windows.h" and it's friend. It's low
level operating system access and it just isn't there in Linux.

The bad news is: You need to replace it all with low level Linux access.
