Thanks for checking it.  That at least confirms it for me.  I might try
and send a bug report to AdaCore.  Problem is I don't know if it is actually
a bug since this is all implementation pragmas.  And in the case of
pragma Linker_Alias, they say they don't have to support it.  Right now
my work around on windows is to use outside of Ada means or just accept
the exception when nothing is used to override it.  I can live with that.

Thanks again!
