Heap overflow seems entirely unrelated at first sight, but in
two ways it needs to be considered here, I think.
First, the -fstack-check warning suggests, in a sense, to use allocators
and pointers instead of direct objects. When a programmer interprets
the warning this way and starts using pointers, -f[no]-stack-check
is likely to affect the structure of his/her Ada program.
Second, there is a limit to the *sum* of stack memory and heap
memory. ;-) Whatever that means at an implementation level.

I 2nd the request.
