try : gcc -v
if it gives you 2.8.1, that's the problem

Gnat gives it's own version of gcc but it's not good to compile all c files

What i did to succeed in compiling GtkAda-2.2 is :
-make gcc-3.2 the default gcc (by changing the path or using links)
-compile GtkAda (it'll fail on linking)
-make gcc-2.8.1 the default gcc again
-recompile GtkAda (it'll directly do the linking)

a better solution would be that gnat doesn't interfere with gcc
on my debian (at home) the gnat packages has gnatgcc instead of gcc (but
it's only gnat-3.14p)
I've heard that there is a patch for gnat-3.15p to replace gcc by gnatgcc
but i've not found it yet
