No. IIRC, the usual method is to make seperate bodies for the different
versions, and only compile the one you want to use. Alternately, you
can use the preprocessor of your choice on the code - gnatprep comes
with GNAT, or you can use M4 or some other generic preprocessor. (I've
heard cpp has problems with the ' attribute syntax, though.)
