A lot of my day job involves a C project, not a particularly big one but
it's a fundamental service to our business and requires changes to keep up
with our Ruby stack.
I wasted at least 5 hours today fighting with GNU/Make, which by itself
isn't so terrible but for non-trivial projects it can turn into a disaster
pretty quickly.
Everything I was fighting with could have been solved in maybe 80 lines
spread across two or three GPR files.
Grumble, I needed to vent :)

You can use gprbuild to build C files; maybe that would help in your
project?

It certainly would, but the lack of good packages for tools like gprbuild
on platforms other than Debian makes that a tricky sale internally.
One of the days... :)

I do of course not know what platforms you would need it on, but GPRbuild is
available in Fedora nowadays. It was packaged by Pavel Zhukov.
