The only things I can think of are:

1. There's some debugging outputs in the mingw32 version of the compiler

2. You've modified the PragmARCs to include this output

Since I presume you'd remember if you'd done 2., that leaves 1. as the 
only thing I can think of.

This is an error in GNAT 3.15p. The visibility of "use" should not take 
effect in the context clauses, but GNAT 3.15p applies it there. The 2nd 
version is correct.
