Björn,
I ran into this problem a couple of months ago.  The problem is that
GNAT FSF can't compile it, but GNAT PRO can.  Nicholas Setton helped me
develop the attached patches, and these patches are in both pkgsrc and
FreeBSD's port system (the latter still being evaluated.)

I was going to bring this up as a separate topic.  Since it's now known
that GNAT FSF can't compile gtkada, why not apply these patches to the
code base?

Do people really want a patch to be required for FSF GNAT to compile GTKAda?

Regards,
John
