Can't set executable stack size during compilation

[Erich <john@peppermind.com>]

I have a problem setting the stack size of a GNAT made program during
compilation. It is a bit memory extensive and sometimes yields a
storage error with the standard stack size (I'd prefer to avoid the
heap for the time being).

None of the methods described here:

http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gnat_ugn_unw/Setting-Stack-Size-from-gnatlink.html

so far had any effect on the executable. (The -Xlinker version yields
a linker error when set as link option in GNAT-GPS.) Using ulimit -s
32768 manually in the shell solves the problem, but this is not a good
option for final deployment.

I'd appreciate any help!


Best,

Erich
