Thanks!

I got the command line to build after changing "-mwindows" to "-ldl".
-mwindows is not a valid option on my installation, and the -ldl is
needed to get rid of the "missing DSO" error.

It looks like the version of gnat-gps in Ubuntu is not good. I'm going
try a manual build from current sources and see what happens.
