I just tried setting LD_LIBRARY_PATH but the linker (with GNAT GPL 2011)
still complains it cannot find crt1.o (sorry: I put crt1.0 earlier). 
Curiously I don't get that error with gnat 4.6.1.

As for valgrind - that gives me a HUGE number of memory leak messages,
the bulk to do with Gtk and seemingly unrelated to my code - I wonder if 
on Unbuntu "G_SLICE=always-malloc" and "G_DEBUG=gc-friendly" are ignored.
