Not with GNAT GPL 2012 or GCC 4.7.0:

GNAT GPL 2012 (20120509)
Copyright 1992-2012, Free Software Foundation, Inc.


Compiling: locales.adb (source file time stamp: 2012-08-06 19:30:36)

     1. with Ada.Locales;
             |
        >>> warning: "Ada.Locales" is an internal GNAT unit
        >>> warning: use of this unit is non-portable and version-dependent

     2. with Ada.Text_IO; use Ada.Text_IO;
     3. procedure Locales is
     4. begin
     5.    Put_Line (String (Ada.Locales.Language_Code));
                                        |
        >>> component subtypes must statically match

     6.    Put_Line (String (Ada.Locales.Country_Code));
                                        |
        >>> component subtypes must statically match

     7. end Locales;

But note the warning!
