Thierry, I am a bit surprised by your measurment, I just tried it
with GNAT 3.14w on both SOlaris and Linux and here is what I get:

   Solaris 2.5.1
   -------------------------------------
   GNAT/Ada object file size:    800 bytes
   GNAT/Ada executable size : 11,604 bytes

   Linux Red Hat 6.1
   -------------------------------------
   GNAT/Ada object file size:    916 bytes
   GNAT/Ada executable size :  6,420 bytes

As an interesting comparison data point the size of the object file
for the equivalent C program compiled with GNAT 3.14w/GCC is

   Solaris 2.5.1
   -------------------------------------
   GNAT/C object file size:   728 bytes
   GNAT/C executable size : 7,716 bytes

   Linux Red Hat 6.1
   -------------------------------------
   GNAT/C object file size:   868 bytes
   GNAT/C executable size : 6,484 bytes
