What's the equivalent of gnatpsta with modern GNATs?

Oh! a bit of googling -- there's a flag -gnatS which prints Standard
during a compilation. So

  gnatmake -c -u -f -gnatsS <an Ada source file>

works (I also get a warning about ALI or object file not found).

As I remember, GNAT implements Long_Long_Float in 80 bits on x86 for
Windows, as in 64 bits (same as Long_Float) on PowerPC.

Don't know what happens on Solaris (SPARC or x86).
