I copied what you did and saw no difference(see below).  Same thing on
the Sun.  Did I miss something?  Do you have some other environmental
setting that accounts for the different outputs(yours and mine)?

I did a search of the gnat reference at
http://lglwww.epfl.ch/docs/ada/gnat_ug.html#SEC128
for "-gnatW8".  It produced no results.  I do see it as an option of the
gnatmake command.
Entering "gnatmake" without options shows it in the list of options as,
"-gnatW    Wide character encoding method (h/u/s/e/8/b)". grrrrrrr
