These are separate warnings; one is -gnatys, the other -gnatyt.

I guess you would rather have -gnatzs, and -gnatyt? I don't see the
point.

The fact that the GNAT compiler groups them under -gnaty isn't
particularly relevant, unless you happen to like the defaults.

I always assume the defaults for any particular compiler switch are
probably not what I want.
