Also note that GNAT has a command line switch "-gnat83" to specify that an
Ada 83 program is begin compiled.  When in this mode Ada95 extensions are
rejected.

This is according to the GNAT users guide (Version 3.07).  I haven't used
this mode myself so cannot recommend for or against.

I hope this helps,
