Description
Linux x86_64, NixOS, GNAT 12.2.0
Building v23.0.0 with BUILD_MODE=prod causes a Stack Overflow (Storage_Error) in gnatbind after building static libadalang. This is probably related to the optimisation level? It compiles and binds without issue in the default BUILD_MODE.
No additional information is dumped by gnatbind unfortunately, but I saw in top that it was using ~4GB of memory which is fairly high for a normal compile job.

Research direction
Reproduce the v23.0.0 build on Linux x86_64 with NixOS, GNAT 12.2.0, and BUILD_MODE=prod, then compare it with the default BUILD_MODE. Start with the gnatbind step after static libadalang is built; done means identifying the cause of the Stack Overflow and preventing the production build from crashing.
