Actually the -largs -s option strips
the debugging symbols from the file to
make it smaller. To compile statically
you should use 

"gnatmake -static
program.adb -bargs -static" 

so that it
won't depend on libgnat. For the
executable not depend on libGtkAda you
should use 

"gnatmake program.adb
`gtkada-config --static`".

Or you could use 
"gnatmake program.adb
-static `gtkada-config --static`
-bargs -static" 

so that your program
will not depend on both.

You could distribute the libraries
along with the executable but a static
binary doesn't require libraries
installation.
