Presuming the heap is really exhausted (i.e. the command "free" shows no
free physical RAM and no free swap space left, and the command "top"
shows the gnat1 process consuming close to 4 GiB of resident memory)
then I'd suggest that you cannot increase the heap.  So, you should
compile smaller source files.

I'd try to identify which subprogram causes the problem and place that
subprogram in a compilation unit of its own (e.g. a private child unit).
