Instanciation in a package spec.

["Gautier direct_replies_not_read" <gautier_niouzes@hotmail.com>]

In a package specification, I have:

  generic
    what: String;
  package Ad_hoc is
    function Last return String;
    procedure Add;
    procedure Put_Last;
  end Ad_hoc;

  package Ad_hoc_type is new Ad_hoc("type");

* ObjectAda 7.2.1 compiles it fine. But link fails:
pascalhe.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol 
pascalhelp.default_instanciations__elab_bool
haddock.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol 
pascalhelp.ad_hoc_type.add
haddock.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol 
pascalhelp.ad_hoc_type.put_last
haddock.exe : fatal error LNK1120: 3 unresolved externals

* GNAT 3.15p issues:
  pascalhe.ads:135:03: warning: cannot instantiate "Ad_hoc" before body seen
  pascalhe.ads:135:03: warning: Program_Error will be raised at run time

Who is right ? Of course I would like to keep is as I've
programmed, although there is surely a workaround by making
a new package with the instanciations. I'd prefer to avoid it.
