The options used for running the ACATS the last time that GNAT was tested
for conformity were:

     -O0 -gnatE -gnato -gnatv -gnatws -gnatd7

(You can find this information in the conformity assessment report, which
you can find on-line at www.adaic.com under the "Compilers and Conformity"
section, look in the CPL.)

-gnatv gives verbose messages, -gnatd7 suppresses time stamps in those
messages (presumably to make them easier to compare), and -gnatws is to
suppress warnings.

Of course, this is fairly old (it was done in late 1998) and possibly some
things have changed in the interim.
