Even tried (which to be fair is a bit of a long shot),

   procedure SQLAllocHandle
     (Result          : out    SQLRETURN;
      HandleType      : in     SQL_HANDLE_TYPE;
      InputHandle     : in     SQLHANDLE;
      OutputHandlePtr : in out SQLHANDLE);
   --  with
   --    Pre =>   (Handletype = SQL_Handle_Env);
   

   pragma Import (C, SQLAllocHandle);
   pragma Import_Valued_Procedure
     (SQLAllocHandle, "SQLAllocHandle",
      (SQLRETURN, SQL_HANDLE_TYPE, SQLHANDLE, SQLHANDLE),
      (Reference, Value,           Value,     Reference));

Do you think I should file a bug report?
