I had a quick scan of the gnat UG
  http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gnat_ugn_unw/
but no luck (there may be info hidden in there ..)

gnatkr will tell you the file name GNAT expects for Ada.*, GNAt.*,
System.*:

   smaug.pushface.org[5]$ gnatkr ada.calendar
   a-calend

There are rules for packages that are amended parts of the library:
you need to compile with at least -gnatg, all warnings are treated as
errors .. but I would still have expected it to build. I've never
tried any _new_ units, though.
