If some brain-dead user (say, for example, someone like me) just writes 
and compiles some Ada with gnatmake and gets an execuatable (eg for 
Windows), is he yet (as of 3.14p) pretty safe in figuring that the 
executable falls under the exception? Is there any library code that 
doesn't follow the exception?  Will the answer to this change with the 
new GNAT versions that are more closely integrated with the rest of 
gcc?  

TIA for any info.
