Or you could ask them to implement Ada'0y, since this proposal looks
like the basis for the draft RM.  The GNAT RM justification for the
current implementation uses text from the Ada'95 RM, which is changed
in the '0y.

(I need to look into this more, but I think this would solve a problem
we are having trying to unit test on an opposite-endian host.)
