AdaCore recommends against -O3; it contains dangerous optimizations.
Stick with -O2.

It also be good to read the GNAT User Guide and GNAT Reference.

What is the rationale for not using -gnatwa?

I assume XML/Ada has a gpr file intended to be included in your
project file; let's assume it's /stuff/xml_ada/xml_ada.gpr. Declare an
environment variable ADA_PROJECT_PATH containing "/stuff/xml_ada".
Then add to your project file: "with xml_ada;", before the 'project' keyword.

No.

This is all explained in the GNAT Reference.
