2.7.2.1, I think.

You _may_ need some sleight of hand to get all the compilers working
properly, but -- at a guess -- are you trying to use the gcc command
to link? use gnatmake instead. eg,

  gcc -c foo.adb  # ok, but to start with just ..
  gnatmake foo    # ok
  gcc foo.adb     # not ok, Ada needs much more work behind the scenes
