ada-mode has nothing to do with makefiles, so I'm confused.

Perhaps you have turned off literal tab characters in files globally (as
I do):

(setq-default indent-tabs-mode nil)

then you need to reenable them in makefiles:

(add-hook 'makefile-mode-hook (lambda () (setq indent-tabs-mode t)))

So far, makefiles is the only mode I've encountered that requires
literal tabs.

That was never suggested as a goal for Emacs ada-mode.

But if you can post specific differences, I can consider how to
accomodate them with the current or new options.

ada-mode 5.x is _much_ easier to customize this way than 4.0.
