GCC 11.1.0, x86_64-apple-darwin on macOS 11.6 (Big Sur):

This compiles without error, and the example below executes correctly.

with P;
with Ada.Text_IO;
procedure P_Test is
   package Q is new P;
   R : aliased Q.R := (Item => 42);
   T : Q.T := Q.F (R'Access);
begin
   Ada.Text_IO.Put_Line (T.D.all'Image);
end P_Test;
