My own Ada 95 sources do not compile with either GCC 4.8 or GCC trunk.
GNAT 4.6 in wheezy appears to be fine. This is just one data point.
Not sure what to read into it, and considering that 4.8 and probably
4.9 are similarly afflicted, it doesn't seem to matter anyway.
I need Ada 95 mode because I use limited return types (correctly, I
think) to implement multiple inheritance. I suspect that's why you
get if you learn the language by yourself, without guidance from
experienced users. You tend to rely on features that are rarely used
by others.
