The difficulties are different depending on whether you share code or
not.  GNAT does not.  If you want to break in a particular instance, and
its code is shared with other instances, then the debugger has to set a
breakpoint, but carefully ignore it when the current instance is the
wrong one.  Not that big of a deal, but the debugger has to know
*something* about it.

Similar to issues about debugging inlined subprograms (only backwards).
