I have had to use the power switch to stop a build using -j0! '-j<1 less
than the number of cores>' does pretty well.

(a) personally I use -gnaty on its own (equivalent of
    -gnaty3abcefhiklmnprst, run 'gnatmake -h' for the switches). If I
    really didn't want e.g. the standard -gnatye (check end/exit labels
    present), I think I'd say "-gnaty -gnaty-e".

(b) -gnatyN256? M256 I could understand, if you don't mind unreadably
    long lines, N means "turn off all checks", N256 is undefined.
