I wonder why it's not possible to disable some aspects of -gnatg when
building the stage1 compiler.  If there was such an option, you might
be able to do some cleanups (like instrumenting the code with more
precise pragmas to control warnings) without requiring newer compiler
versions to bootstrap.
