I guess by ".lib" you mean the Microsoft library format, and by
"ld.exe" you mean the linker that comes with GNAT. Then the
answer is "GNAT is free software, Microsoft isn't". On the other hand,
you _could_ reverse engineer the Microsoft library format, and add
support for it to Gnu ld

Normally, it's not a problem, because AdaCore does a good job of
creating the necessary library files.
