There's a difference between learning Ada and learning an Ada build
system!

The Ada addition is the binding process, otherwise I see no difference
from a C build using gcc.

And a g++ build uses collect2 on at least some systems, which
certainly comes in the same place as Ada binding even if it doesn't do
quite the same thing.
