Yes, it does.
One of the runtimes requires root privileges to do tasking while the
other does not (I forget which is which).

Take a look at the instructions from gnat for installation, and switch
the symbolic link to point to the other runtime, and re-link your
program.  Otherwise, run as root, or with root as the owner of the
executable file, and the setuid/and or setgid permission bits set.

If you chmown the executable file to be owned by root, then
chmod 6755 <executable-filename>, the executable runs with root
privileges.

Be aware, however, that such programs can do all of the things
the superuser can do, so in some contexts this may not be allowed
to be done by an ordinary user.
