This actually functions as an interesting test as to whether
users have accessed the deeply hidden secret archives before
trying to use GNAT, namely the GNAT documentation included
in every GNAT distribution in plain sight.

There really is a LOT of useful stuff there, please don't try
using GNAT without reading it first! At the very least, read
through the list of compiler options ...

I think people these days get used to using programs like
Power Point without reading any documentation (I sure never
read any PP doc), and think that the same is reasonable or
appropriate for compilers, it is not :-)
