I've just looked at the uname man page, and the structure looks like this:
struct utsname {
    char sysname[SYS_NMLN];
    char nodename[SYS_NMLN];
    char release[SYS_NMLN];
    char version[SYS_NMLN];
    char machine[SYS_NMLN];
    char domainname[SYS_NMLN];
};
There aren't pointers there, but the arrays themselves. So you should
declare your Ada structure as
type utsname is record
    sysname : char_array (1 .. SYS_NMLN);
    ...
end record;
