The above statement concerned me because I cannot find any explicit mention of blas or lapack in connection with our build system for either the Ada bindings or examples. However, a check with ldd -r for the built Ada examples (with HAVE_ADA_2007 ON) indicates the linking to the blas and lapack libraries is being done correctly even though we don't do it explicitly with our build system. Jerry has also reported that our build system works on OS X so apparently the linking to blas and lapack is being done correctly there as well for the examples. The answer must be that the appropriate platform-dependent linking is being set up internally by gnatmake. Thus, so long as a user sticks to gnatmake or a build system sticks to gnatmake (as ours does) for building executables, there is no need for an explicit link to blas or lapack.
