That's just with respect to one particular problem. The connection between
the Ada parts of the code and the C parts of the code is intimate and
extensive, and even the slightest change in layout can disturb this connection
as well as other things. Why encourage people to try compiling GNAT with
non-matching compilers when this is known to be a potential source of
problems and is completely unnecessary.
