The Gnat gcc options may not have anything to do with this, but if I were
to make an educated guess...
Under Win32 you can "reserve" memory and "commit" memory whenever you
allocate memory.  The difference being that when you commit memory an
actual chunk of mem is set aside, however, if it is reserved then no actual
memory is allocated, the OS just takes note that you might need that much
memory and actually allocates it as you request it...I think. :-)
