If you compile with -gnatqQ, the .ali files will be retained even if
the compilation fails (I forget the exact meanings of q and Q ..)

Certainly under Glide (the supported emacs ada-mode) these switches
let you navigate to find out why the compilation failed (well, almost
all of the time, anyway!)
