Re: It seems bug in GNAT with overloading in assignment

This is definitely a Gnat bug, ObjectAda is correct.
Report it to report@gnat.com (not sure whether email address is correct).

Rational messages:
10:36:17 *** X (1).all := 1; is ambiguous
10:36:17 *** X could be (in OVERLOAD) X
10:36:17 *** X could be (in OVERLOAD) X
