In 1999 and 2000, I personally successfully built shared libraries on
HP-UX 10.20 using GNAT 3.13b1 and GNAT 3.13b2.  The 3.13b series was
then the version of GNAT available to ACT supported customers (3.12p was
the public version).  This compiler led to the version that was
subsequently made publically available as 3.13p.  The shared libraries
that were built were tested and delivered to a customer.
