AWS does compile on Debian armel which is, IIUC, the normal operating
system for Raspberry Pi (and certainly for Ada on ARM).

So, if your Raspberry Pi runs Debian armel as it should, maybe try

aptitude install libaws2.10.2-dev

which will give you a precompiled AWS (and XML/Ada for that matter).
Then compile your application using a project file that simply
contains:

with "aws.gpr";

I agree.
