I looked at the expanded code for s-fatflt.ads and found the "r":

xa : constant system.system__address := 
           system__fat_flt__fat_float__valid__to_addressGP22755__target!
           (system__fat_flt__fat_float__valid__float_access(x));
r : system__fat_flt__fat_float__valid__float_rep;
        pragma import (ada, r);
        for r'address use xa;
        freeze r []

The following reduced test case shows the problem:

procedure P is
   procedure P1 (X : access Integer) is
      R : Integer;
      pragma Import (Ada, R);
      for R'Address use X.all'Address;
   begin
      null;
   end P1;
   procedure P2 (X : access Integer) is
      R : Integer;
      pragma Import (Ada, R);
      for R'Address use X.all'Address;
   begin
      null;
   end P2;
begin
   null;
end P;

/tmp/ccK6lePn.s: Assembler messages:
/tmp/ccK6lePn.s:13: Error: symbol `r' is already defined

My guess is that the r symbol is not flagged as local when
there's an address clause and an Import pragma, so it
might be a gigi problem.

Hope this helps,
