OK, now I understand better. You forgot to mention you also "upgraded"
to Ubuntu 8.04, which didn't exist a year ago. This is what broke AWS.

I think your best options are: (a) revert to the previous version of
Ubuntu; use gnat-4.1 and libaws2.2 there; they're not broken and known
stable; (b) upgrade to Debian unstable (perhaps in a chroot); use
gnat-4.3; help me bring libaws2.5 to life and use that.

The risk with (a) is that your application requires Ada 2005 features
not yet present in gnat-4.1.  Otherwise, you can probably port your
application from Mac OS X without too much (or any) trouble. The risk
with (b) is that gnat-4.3 or libaws2.5 has new bugs.
