Not sure that there's a GNAT version that doesn't!

Actually, the rules may be a little relaxed for non-standard RTS
components: I named the file containing System.FreeRTOS.Memory
s-fremem.ads as indicated by gnatkr, but the RTS will build happily with
file name system-freertos-memory.adb.

The 8-character filename restriction dates back to DOS days, of
course. There are still references to DJGPP in the GCC sources.
