I've tried this with GCC 4.8.1 ... and get the same.

The problem is that, for the first error, the code says

   function Shift_Left  (Value : Natural; Amount : Natural) return Natural;

and Natural'Size (on this machine, x86_64-apple-darwin12) is 31, not
32. Likewise for the second error.

Having "corrected" this by using Integer for Value and the result, the
next problem is with crypto-symmetric-algorithm-tripledes.ads:103 to
:106; this is less tractable, since the code is trying to implement
intrinsic shifts for a 6-bit type. It is in a section of code marked
obsolete, though!

I posted bugs to https://sourceforge.net/p/libadacrypt-dev/bugs/.
