Rule: The @file{*.ali} files SHALL have read-only permissions for all
users (i.e. @code{r--r--r--} or 0444).
+Rationale: During compilation of a program against the library as
+described later in this document, object files are missing because they
+are lumped together into the shared and static libraries. Gnatmake
+understands the @code{externally_Built} attribute in library projects,
+but with both other methods, it insists on recompiling every object
+whose ALI file has permissions different from @code{r--r--r--}.

Rule: The @file{*.ali} files SHALL reside in
@file{/usr/lib/ada/adalib/LIBRARY}.
