Don't worry. I did not misunderstand you, but changing 'QtAda slightly'
is the same unpaved path for me as well as the whole toolchain.

I only expressed my opinion that gprbuild database should be updated in
order for gprbuild to be able to recognize newer compilers.

I'll take a look - it can be good exercise...

After more detailed inspection, the problem with qtada-3.1.0 is not
manifested only in that 'tasking' example, but it is present in bulding
the core.

However, I've tried with the 3.2 snapshot and it builds, which means it
is only question of time when qtada will be 1st class Debian
citizen. :-)

p.s. I also tried to download GNAT GPL, but it wanted me to copy crt1.o
file around my system which convinced me that the path to traverse is
depending on the 'official' Debian packages...I'll try to learn and
help.
