We recompiled gnatmake with debug messages to see what went wrong actually.
But I'm not sure you can call that an implementation bug.
The flaw is to consider that 2 files with same name and same timestamp have
the same content,
or moreover that the content of a single file has not changed, if the
timestamp has not changed
A lot of batch, or cvs import, commit or extractions, can generate a lot of
files with same name and same timestamp.
