But that's the point, how could an Ada program that is supposed
to be comparable to a C program even *have* an exception handler
in the first place? Most certainly the C program did NOT have
exception handlers!

Once again, these benchmarks are intended for comparing
compilers and machines, using the *same* program. Use the
C version to compare C compilers, use the Ada versions to
compare Ada compilers, but do not expect to use these two
quite different programs to compare Ada and C.
