I suspect that gprbuild is supposed to obsolete gprmake. Sometime ago I 
tried to find some info on this but couldn't arrive at anything definite. For 
sure gprmake existed prior to gprbuild, and some bugs in gprmake are no 
longer in gprbuild.

I'm building somewhat complex executables with a mix of Ada/C/C++ with 
gprbuild with zero problems, so I expect you'll be lucky too.
