Is clntsh a shared library?  If so, could you run ldd on it and report
the results?  Perhaps it is linked against libaddr2line, which is not
part of Debian because it came from a very old binutils.

If libclntsh.so is indeed linked against libaddr2line, you need to
either relink libclntsh.so without libaddr2line, or use the binary
gnat distribution from ACT; it does include libaddr2line.  Then, of
course, you resulting executable will require libaddr2line and you
will need to consider any distribution issues that may arise.
