As others have pointed out, only the compiler generates ali files. But
gprbuild can call the compiler, so the answer is "yes, it can be used
for that".

However, you need to specify different compilation switches; the ali
files contain slightly different information when intended for ASIS than
when intended for the binder and linker. (auto_text_io is an ASIS
application).

auto_text_io can call the compiler to create the ali files it needs, or
you can use gprbuild to generate the ali files for auto_text_io; it
depends on your overall flow.
