That must be -gnatfno (gnatmake -v will tell you the meanings, though
I expect you knew that).

Not a response to your question, but: (a) I thought it was just -largs
(one hyphen), (b) -largs is a flag to gnatmake, the flags in package
Linker are for gnatlink, (c) it's best to give -g as a flag to package
Builder (ie to gnatmake) rather than in the packages for the
individual components.
