Thanks for the swift response.

Yes, it did not help at all. But perhaps the combination of pragma
Suppress and -gnatE? Unfortunatly this is a big application depending
on a large infrastructure set using complex generics. I don't
understand why it differs between Solaris and Linux, but perhaps same
release level is just an illusion.
