I thought the RTS was lower-case? but if you're on Windows I guess it
doesn't matter.

I've only tried arm-eabi runtimes, where the arm-eabi libraries etc are
in $prefix/arm-eabi.

However, I see that GNAT CE 2018 (macOS) supports rts-native, so I tried

$ /opt/gnat-ce-2018/bin/gnatls --RTS=native -v

So, looks as though you can indeed install under
$prefix/{machine}/{rts}; can't immediately see what gprinstall
incantation you'd need, but should be possible!
