Thanks for noticing this.  I think the DWARF is incorrect here in a few

   type SomePackedRecord is record
      R: Small;

   end record;
   pragma Pack (SomePackedRecord);
   SPR : SomePackedRecord := (R => -4, S => -5);

   type Packed_Array is array (1 .. 3) of Small;
   pragma pack (Packed_Array);
   A : Packed_Array := (-7, -5, -4);

begin
   null;
end Bias;
