I love the Gnat compiler but...

   I dread this error message:

   "No code generated for file xxxx.2.ada (missing subunits)"

It means that I have a procedure or function declared "...is separate;"
in package xxxx, but there is no matching separate. A "legacy" package 
has a gazillion separates. They need changes, and the calling 
parameters get changed and don't match, or the routine name changes, 
or the separate filename isn't right, or whatever happens to get this 
message, and it is a real pain to figure out which "subunit" is missing.

Anybody have a solution? maybe a compile switch or ...?

thanks,
Peter
