Use a different compiler? :-) There rarely is a *good* solution when dealing 
with a compiler bug.

The language-defined specification of that package doesn't contain any "=" 
operator, so the existence of such a thing itself might be the bug. Note 
that Ada 2012 adopted rules for overriding of "=" for untagged record types 
similar to those for tagged record types (that was to allow composition to 
make sense), and thus some "=" declarations that were legal in previous Ada 
aren't legal anymore. Perhaps a recent GNAT tightened up these rules and 
caught some of their library code.
