I suspect it isn't illegal, rather looks like a compiler bug; 3.15a1
gives similar results to yours (only 4 lines of complaint!) whereas
GCC-3.2 (and 3.1, 3.3) give bombs:

   smaug[21]$ gnatgcc -c test.adb

   Please include these source files with error report

   test.adb
   test.ads

   compilation abandoned

I think this is worth a PR, shall I do it?
