I have had no problem using TASH 7.6 on Solaris-x86 with Gnat 3.03. 
After reading David's post, I tried to compile TASH at home on my Linux
(Slackware 96, kernel 2.0.O) platform with Gnat 3.09.  For the package 
tcl-ada.adb, Gnat prints out a "please post a bug report" kind of
message as he described. I think that the line referred to as the
problem in the TASH source is an overloaded (thick) function body in a
generic package with one version of the routine the (thin) imported C
function and the other version an Ada wrapper for the same function. 

I have not spent much time trying to investigate this or checked for
anything posted to gnat.chat yet.  Has anyone else tried to use Gnat
3.09 with Tash 7.6?
