On linux, the GNAT GPL 2011 lapack stuff seems to be in 
.../lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/4.5.3/adalib/libgnala.a

Package interfaces.fortran.blas was in the files i-forbla.ads and 
i-forbla.adb, and lapack interfaces in i-forlap.ads.

In the GNAT GPL 2012 distribution I can't find any of these things. I
was able to get your Ada_Numerics.Generic_Arrays package working OK on
GPL 2012, but I had to copy i-forbla.ads and i-forbla.adb from the old
GPL 2011 src, and I had to link to my own lapack and blas libraries. At least
System.Generic_Array_Operations is still in 2012, so Ada_Numerics.Generic_Arrays worked well.
