Need GNAT Help !!!!!

[samw@wwa.com (Samuel G. Williams)]

I have been helping a software engineer in another area of out company draft an ADA solution for
an extremely complex problem. Recently we have run into a problem on the processor we have
targeted for the application. Our suspicions are that we may have a type incompatability between
the Sun we are developing on and the x186 that we have targeted.

Does anyone know how to change a type size under GNAT? We have looked at all the files that come
with a typical GNAT distribution and we can't decide which one should be changed!! What we are
in essence looking for is the analog to the standard package, such that we can make a change
that will propagate through to the eventual object.

Our difficulty stems from the fact that there seems to be no good documentation on the actual
flow through the compilation process. If anyone knows the answer to this please let me know.

BTW, we are attempting this with GNAT because it looks good and has good purchased support.
Currently, we have no money to support this initial experiment and are in fact using the success
from this to garner management attention so we can buy the support package from Adacore.

Thanks for all responses...
