No they are not. Look at this simple code sniplet:

with GNAT.OS_Lib;

package My_OS_Lib
package Pass_Thrue renames GNAT.OS_Lib;
end My_OS_Lib;

I used a rename to make shure the problem is exposed.

What, exactly, are you trying to say here?

The GMGPL license is GPL compatible; see
http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/license-list.html#GPLCompatibleLicenses

That means you can use GMGPL source code in a project that also has
GPL source code; the license for the total project must be GPL.

Even if you run into a pragma License(some invalid identifier),
you just create a derivative work by placing '--' before the
pragma. Just make sure that the result, if distributed, is
distributed as required by the GPL.

Right: My work has to become GPL as well.

If you distribute binaries compiled with the GNAT GPL compiler, that
is true.
