I wasn't clear enough.

The distributed gprbuild/gprconfig package was built on a machine with
i686-pc-linux-gnu, but the distributed GCC was built for
x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, so the distributed gprbuild/gprconfig was not
willing to treat the distributed GCC as a usable compiler unless it was
told to.

Thanks for the explanation, though.
