This is incorrect information.  There is no gnatgcc in the 3.14p
distribution as it comes from ftp.cs.nyu.edu.  The correct solution is
that which I provided earlier, viz.:

Very likely your problem is that when you type the command
gcc -c hello.adb
you are getting the standard (non-ada) version of gcc.

To be sure type gcc -v
You will probably get something like
Reading specs from /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-redhat-linux/2.96/specs
as a response.

The solution to the problem is to add /usr/gnat/bin in your path
before the directory where the standard gcc is located,
probably /usr/bin

After doing that when you type gcc -v you should receive the
response
Reading specs from /usr/gnat/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-linux-gnu/2.8.1/specs
