The simple answer is that your program has statically linked in a lot of
stuff it doesn't use. You could look at gnatelim if you're interested in
how much of that is really needed.
A longer answer points out that much of the excess is relatively fixed,
and is not a significant proportion of a "real" program, where it's also
more likely to be needed.
