I suddenly recalled there was a -S switch somewhere, here's what I get:

ste@sim:~/prove$ cat main.adb
procedure Main is
     Sample_Float : Float := 10.123;
begin
    null;
end Main;
ste@sim:~/prove$ gcc -c -S -fomit-frame-pointer -gnatp main.adb
ste@sim:~/prove$ cat main.s
      .verstamp 3 11
      .set noreorder
      .set volatile
      .set noat
      .arch ev4
      .file 1 "main.adb"
      .rdata
      .align 2
$LC0:
      .long 1092745167
      .text
      .align 2
      .globl _ada_main
      .ent _ada_main
_ada_main:
      .frame $30,16,$26,0
      ldgp $29,0($27)
$_ada_main..ng:
      lda $30,-16($30)
      .prologue 1
      lda $1,$LC0
      lds $f10,0($1)
      sts $f10,0($30)
      lda $30,16($30)
      ret $31,($26),1
      .end _ada_main

Anything interesting for you?
