Well of course -gnatn is a request to make the executable
larger, not smaller! But that is, I would expect, a trivial
effect here. The important thing if you want a small executable
is to link dynamically instead of statically (usually when
there is a comparison of Ada vs C which shows C much smaller,
this is a significant factor in the difference).
