Where in the RM does it say that the compiler and RTL is the implementation?
As everyone says the Ada RM is the final word! And if it is not defined in 
the RM then the compiler and RTL are not the implementation, but are the 
tools for the implementation.

Compiler is tool for the programmers that allows a language to be used 
on a specific operating environment or system. Actually, if an high-level 
language compiler is written correctly, then the compiler itself is a 
finished partition even if additions are added or subtract from the 
language the compiler is not modified only re-compiled for the 
new system as they are created.

And as for the run-time libraries, well there are two major groups. The 
first is a set of library routines that links a language to the outside 
environment aka either the hardware like on a bareboard system or the 
parent program which can include the operating system.  The second set of 
library routines are common routines that are both useful and helpful
in writing an implementation. But no run-time libraries packages can be 
declared as a full implementation only a subpart of the implementation.


For Ludovic Brenta:

I know J-P Rosen is also a member of the ARG. But sometimes a person 
such as a member of the ARG can be so busy with a set of issues they are 
working on that the overlook others issue that may have faults. They 
should be grateful and note the fault for future reference when someone 
point them out.
