Looking at a .ali file, the dependencies are recorded in lines like

D ada.ads               20170106103348 76789da1 ada%s

where 20170106103348 is the date/time to 1 second precision, and
76789da1 is a checksum of the file's contents. I'd imagine that gprbuild
looks at the timestamp first; not sure about the checksum, but certainly
needed for -m processing (only recompile if semantically modified).
