Umm, my last build was 3.10p-3, you might want to install a more current one:
Maintainer: Samuel Tardieu <sam@debian.org>
Version: 3.11p-11
You may have to look in the "unstable" release to find this and the
packages it Depends upon.
However, I will note that on my "stable" system, with 3.10p-3
installed, I copied /usr/doc/gnat/examples/* to a temporary directory,
did a "gunzip *.gz" and a "make all", and it built and ran everything,
even feeding some philosophers. (ex6 didn't build but that's C++, not
Ada) That system has libc6-dev 2.0.7.19981211-6, ld is from binutils
2.9.1.0.19a-2. Could you check the exact versions you have, and if
these programs build for you? (I did use those examples as a simple
smoke test for the debian package, I assume M. Tardieu does
likewise...)
On my "unstable" system with gnat 3.11p-11, libc6-dev 2.1.1-5, and
binutils 2.9.1.0.24-1, it also worked (ex6 failed for related
reasons.)
I'd also ask you to file a bug (though I'm not sure where,
boot-floppies package perhaps?) asking that gnat be added to the
"development" profile...
