Years ago I was looking for exactly the same thing on a Windows target.  So 
far as I could find, Ada doesn't have a standard way of accessing this 
information.

The reason I was looking for the information is so that a program could 
report when it was built.

I found an alternative that works on Windows.  There is a windows API 
function GetFileVersionInfo that may be used to obtain the date and time the 
executable was linked.

If this happens to be what you're looking for, let me know and I can send 
(or post) source code.

Regards,
Steve
