I use this:

    subtype Void_Ptr is System.Address;

It works like a charm. Please note that in order to link Ada with C
there is a need for a *pair* of *compatible* compilers - you cannot
compile the Ada part with a random Ada compiler and a C part with a
random C compiler and expect them to work together. There is a lot of
hand-waving in the multilanguage development, which means lots of
under-the-table assumptions can be taken for granted even though they
are not explicitly covered by any of the language standards.
