I had a similar issue upgrading from GNAT Community 2020 to GNAT Pro 21.
The GNAT compiler has gotten smarter about enforcing accessibility
rules.
Since those rules are there to prevent dangling references, they should
be respected; I fixed my code to compile with 'Access.
It is a pain that GNAT didn't get this totally correct the first time
around, but that's life.
