8MB RAM is a perfectly reasonable design point, and the overhead
of 128K or so of standard runtime stuff is reasonable.

If you are developing for 64K byte machines, you have a VERY
different situation on your hands. Clearly here you are talking
about embedded systems, and in such systems, you very rarely
want any significant runtime code. The best alternative using
GNAT here is to use GNORT, which completely eliminates the
runtime completely. If on the other hand, you are saying that
you have 64K of data, but more code space, then again there
may be no problem.

Did you perhaps mean to say 8MB ROM and 64K RAM (that would
make a whole lot more sense ...)
