And you may face other problems in the future. I do this in a project of 
mine and (IIRC) for example the full inlining (-gnatN) will cause some 
errors when compiling it (3.15p here). If you have different settings 
for debug/release this can go unnoticed for some time.

So in practice is better if you make now the effort to follow the 
suggested procedure because it may bite you later.
