     I have observed that, in Debian, the default version of gcc used 
for Ada is sometimes older than the version used for C/C++. In other 
words, the default gcc doesn't understand Ada. Therefore gnatgcc points 
to another version of gcc, which understands it. That might explain, at 
least in part, the difference you see.
