This is not correct. If the runtime is GPL. Dynamically linking to it 
really does not help under the strictest interpretations of the GPL. You 
are thinking that some portion of the runtime is LGPL.


It is not. It is GPL with a linking/generics exception (in the case of 
old GNAT <=3.15 releases and FSF derived GCC releases) which is actually 
slightly more permissive than the LGPL.

The runtime is "GPL" in the case of the Libre/adacore GPL releases.
