That would probably be better indeed, it's dangerous to rely on the
base compiler too much, in particular when the base compiler is a C++ compiler.
This whole switch to C++ is causing all sort of subtle troubles in particular
wrt building GNAT, so if people who worked on the switch could have a look and
suggest a change, I'll be happy to review it.
