In theory it may work but in order to keep other tools then just the 
compiler happy i would strongly recommend to use the standard GCC naming 
conventions.
The project i work with professionally was using the APEX naming 
convention that at least has support from the GNAT tool chain but there 
are hiccups so we are considering a massive rename.
My recommendation would be:
* Stay with GCC naming convention for files i you don't want trouble.
