Unfortunately, without that exception there is a false positive:

In file included from ../../gcc-trunk/gcc/ada/gcc-interface/decl.c:30:0:
../../gcc-trunk/gcc/ada/gcc-interface/decl.c: In function 'int 
adjust_packed(tree, tree, int)':

But that did not happen with this version:

Is that version OK for you?
