No, Richard, you are missing the point, we are talking about the output
from the SAME program compiled by two different compilers, so indeede the
output should be identical.
The test Zack is suggesting, which is a good one, that should be done
routinely for GNU C, is
compile GNAT with GNAT version bla
compile GNAT with, say, Aonix (if that were possible, it is not)
See if the two versions of GNAT behave the same functionally.
