--  This package is included in all programs. It contains references to the
--  set of packages that are required to be part of every Ada program. A
--  special mechanism is required to ensure that these are loaded, since it
--  may be the case in some programs that the only references to these
--  required packages are from C code or from code generated directly by

--  Gigi, an in both cases the binder is not aware of such references.
--  System.Standard_Library also includes data that must be present in every
--  program, in particular the definitions of all the standard and also some

--  subprograms that must be present in every program.
--  The binder unconditionally includes s-stalib.ali, which ensures that this
--  package and the packages it references are included in all Ada programs,

--  together with the included data.
