In only a clerkish way, not in an experts way, I found the following
answer in GNAT's s-rannum.ads, to whose body the comments in GNAT GPL 2014's
Ada.Numerics.{Discrete,Float}_Rnadom are referring (in a-nu{di,fl}ra.ads):

--  The generator currently provided by this package has an extremely long
--  period (at least 2**19937-1), and passes the Big Crush test suite, with the
--  exception of the two linear complexity tests. Therefore, it is suitable
--  for simulations, but should not be used as a cryptographic pseudo-random
--  source without additional processing.
