Now, to compile the Ada system this statement type must work because it 
is embeded in a number of locations in the Ada.Text_IO.adb and other 
Ada system packages.

So, first, try compiling without the "-gnat12" switch.

Second, try the routine without the concatenation operator "&"
or try to return a static string or a substring.

Then again this statement may be limited to numerical, characters 
type values only.

If that does not work try copying "a-textio.ad*" to a local temp dir 
and compile it by:
        gcc -c -gnatpg a-textio.adb 

  You should get no errors, only a warning that your states your 
recompiling the a system package.


Last, if you have or still have GNAT 2009 try compiling using 2009:

  gnatmake ....
