I'm compiling a large (0.7 M lines) application on a sparc using
GNATMAKE 3.10p

The application was originally written on an AIX system so I was expecting
a few problems. The problem I have at the moment is that one of the
specification files won't compile - it gives the following error:

use clause not allowed in predefined spec

The line in the code is :

use Interfaces.C;

and it makes no difference where I put it.

Is this constraint unique to Gnat, and is it permanent, or is there a switch
or equivalent which will allow the use of 'use'. 

Are there any workarounds better than putting appropriate references before
every variable. Would that work?

Any help greatly appreciated.

cheers

Roger.
