No. No Ada cross-ucompiler for ARM has been packaged for Debian yet, therefore not for derivatives like Ubuntu either. > Can I have the ARM cross and the Linux versions running in parallel? Yes.

You can use the gnat-gps IDE from Ubuntu and configure it to invoke the arm cross-compiler from AdaCore. -- Ludovic Brenta.
