OK, I'm replying to myself just to put this in the archive, in case anyone else
looks for it later.

The solution was actually pretty simple:

 1) Find out where GARLIC put its version of s-stratt:

 %  locate s-stratt
 /usr/share/ada/html/gnat/s-stratt__adb.htm
 /usr/share/ada/html/gnat/s-stratt__ads.htm
 /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-Ada-linux/2.8.1/adainclude/s-stratt.adb
 /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-Ada-linux/2.8.1/adainclude/s-stratt.ads
 /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-Ada-linux/2.8.1/adalib/s-stratt.ali
 /usr/lib/ada/garlic-3.13p/s-stratt.adb    <---
 /usr/lib/ada/garlic-3.13p/s-stratt.ali    <---

 2) Add that directory to the front of your ADA_INCLUDE_PATH and ADA_OBJECTS_PATH
environment variables.

 3) Compile and install GtkAda from its sources.

 4) Continue to use the new ADA_*_PATH definitions when you compile your own
programs.

It looks like my old programs still compile and run OK, as does my new distributed
program.

Thank you, David and Francisco, for the help.
