Strange. I got a C file somehow produced by GNAT which I did not
properly installed. It was 3.10 if I remember correctly. At that time I
was just trying to compile a simple "Hello World" program. My memory
could serve me wrong but I am damned sure I got a C source file in my
test directory which contained only an .adb file.
