As a guess, there used to be issues with mixed sources code on Intel
compatibles, where GNAT is using the available fpt precision bits (80)
while some libraries have been compiled to use double precision (64).
(There is a subprogram somewhere in GNAT's library to set the fpt unit,
I can't at the moment remember the name.)


just my 2c,
Georg
