> Sure. What could be the starting point ? Is gnatmake full FSF ? Could it be possible to add a sort of Ant or Maven written in Ada to replace GPR Build ? 

gnatmake is full FSF and part of the FSF tree. Once deprecated unless something changes it will no longer be possible to build an FSF GNAT using FSF tools. As it is, I doubt there will be future Windows 64 builds available already after 4.9.x unless we do something.


> On idea : could it be possible to simply write the "makefile" in Ada then compile it first as an executable and use it to launch the rest of the compilation process ? To do that one only needs to develop a "building library" in Ada. No messy XML file required anymore !

I don't think removing all dependencies on ASIS and XML are even a question for any future tool. gnatmake currently does not depend on either.
