To me /LISTING=[MYDIR.LISTINGS] doesn't seem complex, but we digress.

Are you saying that if I issue whatever is the GNAT command for:

	"Recompile it all for production and give me a full listing
	 for the permanent record of exactly what machine instructions
	 shipped to customers for each source line."

the listing from all compilation units ends up in a single file ?

Yes, I realize that for optimizing compilers the bit about "for each
source line" is incredibly difficult for a human to trace, and one hopes
to never need it, but it does happen.
