Hi Tom: I believe there is an important distinction which should be included in the above summary; the extra flags you refer to above all appear to occur for your project's CMake-based build system but not the PLplot one (as you can see from the file I attached earlier in this thread). Therefore, the issue is very likely in how your project's own CMake logic uses the Ada language support to build Ada executables. Some time ago I provided a self-contained and simple Ada test case (consisting of a "Hello World" Ada library and Ada executable that calls that library to print out that string). I maintain that simple test case in parallel with the equivalent PLplot build-system logic. Like PLplot but in a clearer way, that simple test case (which can be obtained by using svn to checkout http://svn.code.sf.net/p/plplot/code/branches/test_cmake/test_ada) shows how to properly use the Ada language support to build Ada libraries and Ada code that is linked to those libraries. If for that test case, you do not get the above extra flags, then clearly you should follow how that test case builds Ada libraries and executables in your own project's CMake-based build system to eliminate the problem. On the other hand, if for that test case you do generate the extraneous flags while that does not occur on my platform, then we probably have a case where your gnatmake is imposing those extra flags while mine does not, and you should be talking to the gnatmake developers instead.
