The Ada FE does it FWIW:

$ cat p.ads
pakage P is
  subtype My_Count is Intger
end P;
$ gcc -c -gnatq p.ads
p.ads:1:01: incorrect spelling of keyword "package"
p.ads:2:23: "Intger" is undefined
p.ads:2:23: possible misspelling of "Integer"
p.ads:2:29: missing ";"
$

The checker is in gcc/ada/g-spchge.adb
