I'm not sure it's relevant, but I posted a bug[1] on gnatmake & static
standalone libraries; I sent AdaCore a similar report on gprbuild, no
reply.

The problem was, for a static SAL, the using Ada main program needs to
see all the ALIs for it to be sure to call in all the dylibs required by
the library; so if e.g. libgnarl was only called by  non-interface units
it would get linked but not elaborated.

I wanted to use SALs because they automatically populate the include
directory with relevant source.

The GNAT GPL 2015 version of the patch is
