The Rational Compilation Integrator (RCI) system allows you to do that.
Your Rational Rep should be able to set one up for you, or you can
wade through the documentation, and do it yourself. That's what I did,
then when a couple of Ada95 features -- e.g., stream attribute
overloading, I got a couple of hours help from Rational.
I set up such a system in early 1997, before Rational had a real
Ada95 compiler, and we were using gnat-3.09p at the time, using a
Solaris sparc-hosted Apex, generating programs for both Solaris and
IRIX targets.

I can't comment on this part of the problem.
