Here I see (from a collection of old StackOverflow-related investigations) First line Compiler ----------------- ------------ V "GNAT Lib v10" FSF GCC 10 V "GNAT Lib v11" FSF GCC 11 V "GNAT Lib v2019" GNAT CE 2019 V "GNAT Lib v2020" GNAT CE 2020 V "GNAT Lib v7" FSF GCC 7 V "GNAT Lib v8" FSF GCC 8 V "GNAT Lib v9" FSF GCC 9 Using a wrong ADA_PROJECT_PATH/GPR_PROJECT_PATH can lead to this. Using gprbuild -v can help. Also, * Compile unit U with A.gpr which puts the ALI in directory A_OBJ * Move unit U into the source tree for B.gpr which put the ALI in directory B_OBJ * Run gprclean on A.gpr, which doesn't delete U.ali because U is no logner one of its sources * Change compiler!
