This is great. Can you post the diffs? What version of Apex are you 
using? I would like to run GtkAda on Solaris 2.7. We are still using 
Apex 3.2, but hope to migrate to Apex 4.0.

On Solaris these symbols are found in libgnat.a. There must be a 
libgnat.so for SGI located somewhere in the gnat distribution. You can 
either put it in your library path or specify it explicly in the view 
switches. I think the name of the switch is something like 
"non_ada_linking".
