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.
