In fact, i had the notion that GNAT didn't generate machine related
code and that this job was devoted to something else, thought it was
gcc. And thought that gcc was GNU C compiler :-( 

In this case, i just thought that GNAT would produce something
portable across all its implementations. But i'm not sure it would be
a high improvement versus source code distribution.

I perfectly agree my ignorance and i'm glad to improve my knowledge. 

Cordially,
