I tried to compile Ada binding for X windows from SAIC 
on HP Ada compiler and ran into the problem:  

    330     for Character_Record use 
                <---
                #1  
    337         Attributes    at 3*Word_Size range 16..31;
                                                     --->
                                                       #1
#1:  **IDE 2237  Implementation restriction : record representation clauses are
            not supported. 
 
HP Ada compiler does not compile record representation clauses in X_lib_.a.  
This means that you cannot specify which bits corresponds to which fields.  
This feature seems to be crucial to Ada/C (C in Xlib) interface.

The X11 binding came with the disclaimer saying the code compiled only on Sun 
Alsys compiler. HP Ada is from Alsys, but it may be wimpier 
(older version, probably v3.1) than Sun Alsys Ada (v3.2).
