First, the EMX runtime is relevant only to the OS/2 version among the
officially supported versions of GNAT, so that seems a bit of an odd
thing to mention.
Second, we occasionally get notes of this kind, and in 100% of cases, they
have turned out to be based on apples-vs-oranges comparisons. The differences
come from many bogus sources:
unoptimized vs optimized code
debugging information not stripped
non-comparable programs
statically vs dynamically linked libraries
etc.
After a while it is hardly worth following up each case!
