With NO restrictions? Including tasking? The C program doesn't have to make
any special calls to elaborate everything?

(I know, I know, I should try it myself. But I'm kinda lazy^H^H^H^Hbusy 
these days).

For the record, I would expect GNAT to be better than most compilers in
this regard. After all, it is built around a C (and Pascal, and Modula-2,
and ...) compiler.
