When Simon Wright described the installation problem with 3.16a, I remembered a timestamp problem which occured in the unison file synchronizer project. This (the bug I remembered) was exactly the bug / glitch / strangeness described in your reference. Thanks for refreshing my memory :-). I think, if the Gnat Runtime and the installer handle the filestamps differently (on applies the necessary corrections, the other don't) and GNAT is packaged in summer and installed in winter this would exactly lead to the strangeness described by Simon Wright (which was a 1 hour difference between the internal time stamps of the *.ali files and the external filesystem timestamps of the same files -- if I correctly understood Simon Wright's last post).
