Pragma Inline is defined by the language.  Not_Elaborated is
implementation defined.  There is a list of language-defined pragmas in
the back of the RM.  To know whether it's safe to simply delete
implementation-defined pragmas, you'll have to look at the Apex
documentation.  Some pragmas are "merely" optimization hints,
for example.

No, that probably has nothing to do with it.
