Can anyone tell me why, when building a program which has already
been built and is fully up-to-date, gnatmake still does gnatbind -x
followed by gnatlink?  Is there a way of convincing it otherwise?

Yes, it is easy to tell you why -- you are not using the latest version
of GNAT, in which this behavior is modified to only bind and link if
necessary. For example, in OS/2:

[OS2-F:\emx\gnu\gcc-2.7\ada]gnatmake a
gcc -c a.adb
gnatbind -x a.ali
gnatlink a.ali

[OS2-F:\emx\gnu\gcc-2.7\ada]gnatmake a
gnatmake: "a.exe" up to date.
