GNAT.OS_Lib is the intended interface for users (normally you will get a warning about using an implementation unit subject to unpredictable change if you use System.OS_Lib). GNAT.OS_Lib is an implementation-defined unit provided to users. That it is a renaming of System.OS_Lib is irrelevant (and also does not cause any noticable compilation overhead). - Ed
