All I can tell you is that I'm pretty sure I'm doing what Iain said, using his
branch (up to date), and using the compilers from the Adacore open source
release (20200818) which is GCC 8.4.1. And once again I got that same
complaint about Ada2020 constructs:
/usr/local/gnat/bin/gcc -c -g -O2 -gnatpg -gnata -W -Wall -nostdinc -I-
-I. -Iada/generated -Iada -I../../../gcc-darwin/gcc/ada -Iada/libgnat
-I../../../gcc-darwin/gcc/ada/libgnat -Iada/gcc-interface
