So, what is the reason that GNAT does not accept "s'alignment use 0;" on in=
tel x86 systems? I recently read that Alignment_Check is now "no" by defaul=
t for such systems - but making that configuration setting on GNAT GPL 2014=
 does not seem to make any difference on the code in question. Is there a d=
ifferent setting to allow items not necessarily aligned to byte boundaries =
other than setting GNAT to ignore the representation clause?
