There have been a number of threads here dealing with just that:
people asking why GNAT didn't give the expected behavior, generally
because they didn't compile with -gnato.

I'm starting to consider such a change for Debian gnat. Overflow
checks can be disabled explicitly with -gnatp or pragma Suppress.
However, some programs don't compile with -fstack-check because some
stack frames are "too big" (whatever that means). Thoughts?
