I don't know why it doesn't compile on Ubuntu, but I can say that it just
works with Slackware. I've never had a single issue with AWS on Slackware,
and I've compiled it countless times.

I wrote an article on how to compile some of the libre.adacore.com packages
on a Slackware box:

So if Ubuntu is failing for you, why not give Slackware a try? VirtualBox
is your friend and allows for easy and fast testing.
