Subject: Large numbers (or is Ada the choice for me?)

I need a tool to solve large systems of linear equations, with no
floating point operations (or any other approximations) allowed.
Even though I am not a seasoned programmer, I think I'll have to
write the tool myself.
My question is, will it be reasonably simple to handle large
rational numbers with Ada? Is there any packages for this?
Does basic Ada (gnat) support (f.ex.) 2048-bit integers? Does
any module exist for integers of dynamic size? Are these
handled reasonably efficiently, or is there much overhead?
I guess I will manage to implement the rational numbers without
too much hardship, but I really don't feel like implementing
arithmetics on large integers.
