I'm unaware of an existing tool that will solve your problem, but
there is a technology that helps: ASIS.
ASIS (Ada Semantic Interface Specification) is an Ada API
(soon to be an ISO standard) provided by some Ada vendors which
allows a tool developer to fetch syntactic and semantic information
about a compiled Ada program. Hence, one could write an ASIS-based
tool that displays a _semantic_ difference between two units, as
opposed to a simple lexical/syntactic difference via diff/sdiff/etc.
Contact your Ada vendor regarding ASIS and tools built thereupon.
