Thanks, Simon. The GPL versions from both your build at sourceforge
and from AdaCore indeed have this problem fixed.

However, both of these builds still contain the old bug which arises
when using
    Ada.Numerics.Long_Real_Arrays;
in which the linker can't find the non-existent (on OS X) library
lgnalasup (linear algebra support) requested by i-forbla.adb. I
thought this was fixed a long time ago and if I'm reading the history
correctly it was fixed on Apr 22 07:14:31 2008. I suppose I should
raise this on another thread, however.
