I'm not sure what you mean here, I've had no problem doing this.  And I'm
not even up to 3.09
(I'm on 3.04 or some such).  Granted, I had to make one or two slight
changes:

     1. Add a default of -k256 in GNATCHOP.BAT so the chopped files have
long filenames.
          (By the way, I also had to modify it to recognize the -r option
since it never has recognized it)

     2. Add a -k256 to GNATMAKE commands (which is easier if you use a
.BAT file to 
control compilation.

The only problem I've seen is when I forget the -k256 to compile
something.  Other than that, I 
don't think there are any problems.  I'm glad GNAT likes the library files
with short names, 
cause that would have been a pain.
