Yes in the general case, but no if you put them at the beginning of the 
assembly file (what the Ada compiler precisely does), at least if you do not 
pass any -gdwarf-n switch now.  This had worked for 2 decades at least...

Not a small advantage in my opinion, and I don't think that we want to change 
it because of a corner case in Ada in any case.

I guess Bernd's patch is acceptable, modulo a small tweak for -gnatD.  Let me 
experiment a little bit though.
