GNAT is not Ada without -gnato and -fstack-check. Since you say this is an already known issue, I think that means I can be excused from trying to figure out how to submit a bug report on it (which I was dutifully going to try to do, based on the suggestions that several others here have made). I remain curious, however: Is it a known issue for which a correction to gnat is planned? Or is it planned to leave it forever as a "known oddity"? Or is the question as to whether or not to correct it still under debate somewhere? I have no particular axe to grind here, just pure curiosity.
