Which Ada compiler are you using? Is it an FSF one, as from getadanow.com 
for example?

I ran into trouble using the FSF compiler to build some Adacore libraries 
including AWS, which was most simply resolved by using the Adacore Libre 
(gpl) compiler. (So I didn't get into the details of the errors and their 
resolution).

While AWS (compiled with the Libre edition) is undoubtedly a great 
product, this is an unfortunate feature that doesn't quite jive with the 
supposed portability of Ada code.

Or look at www.gnoga.com (which was re-written to avoid using components 
of AWS) as a more modern alternative.
