Great! This is what I needed. Many thanks. My problem seems to be
solved. I don't know why the 2010 GPL worked with my (then)
defective .gpr file. The only thing that I can figure out is that
the .ali(s) was (were) referencing the .dylib because I certainly
wasn't doing so in my .gpr. I did get an indication that the file
format for .ali's had changed, so maybe that was it.

That's a good reference--very informative.
