Plain old x86 code implies that you have no symbol stored in the object file.
One of the consequence is that you cannot link different object files
together and have references resolved.
GNAT generates assembly code, which is then assembled and linked. If you want
to use GNAT in bare-board mode and get a file that you can for example put
into a eprom, you can convert any decent format (ELF, coff, ...) to srec
or plain binary.
