Sorry, I don't see the point. You can perfectly well override anything
you don't like in -gnatg with command line options, nothing special is
required in the compiler as far as I can see.

Perhaps I don't understand your concern, please say what you mean by
"some aspects of -gnatg".

If you are only concerned with warnings, you can always use -gnatwn

Actually for the compiler itself, you can probably just omit -gnatg
(never tried it, but it would probably work fine).

Please be more specific about what you have in mind, since I just
don't see anything that would be useful here.
