This is the full output from that attempt

gnatbind -shared -I- -x /home/rob/Ada/tt/debug/basic.ali

gnatlink /home/rob/Ada/tt/debug/basic.ali -shared-libgcc -g -C -lm
-lncurses -L/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/ -ltexttools -o 

/home/rob/Ada/tt/debug/test
gnatmake: *** link failed.

gnatlink: Failed to open binder output

I see the -C in there, but I don't know what it does
