This is confusing. GNAT GPL provides gcc, with Ada and C, among other
languages. So does Debian; they are different versions of similar toolkits.
So I think you meant to say "may build with GNAT, but not with Debian".
And vice versa, of course.

Same statement is true of Debian Ada.

The point is that you cannot _mix_ libraries built with Debian and GNAT
in one executable. It might work, but you certainly not count on it.
Mixed Ada libraries will be rejected by the Ada compiler (they are more
strictly checked than C libraries).
