This change fixes a defect whereby instantiating a Remote_Types unit
specifying user-defined stream attributes for one of its types in the
private part of an RCI unit would cause undefined symbols in calling stubs.

Tested on x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, committed on trunk

2011-08-04  Thomas Quinot  <quinot@adacore.com>

	* sem_ch12.adb (Analyze_Package_Instantiation): Do not omit body for
	instantiation in RCI.
