Re: Distributed Ada (Annex E)

The error line
error: "s-finimp.adb" must be recompiled ("s-stratt.adb" has been modified)
gives the clue.

The file s-stratt.adb has indeed been modified from what it is in
standard GNAT to what it needs to be for distributed programs on (possibly)
heterogeneous platforms.  This file defines the Stream Attributes
('Read and 'Write) for the simple types.  In standard GNAT these attributes
format data on streams in a very simple way, but differently for little-endian
platforms than for big-endian.

For Annex E, the Stream Attributes format streams according to the XDR
specification, to providing platform independence.

Therefore, you do need to recompile s-stratt.adb.  Doing this requires special
compiler switches which are documented in the Gnat User's Guide in the
section entitled Rebuilding the GNAT Run-Time Library.
