gprbuild uses gprconfig to work out what compilers are
available. gprconfig probes the environment in various ways, for example
by examining the output of "gcc -dumpmachine".

Try running "gprconfig -v foo.gpr" and see whether (a) the compiler
you've installed is found at all, (b) [if you can! the output can be a
bit terse] why it was rejected.

A while back you had to say "gprbuild --target=<target>" (where <target>
is the output of "gcc -dumpmachine", e.g. x86_64-apple-darwin14.5.0) if
gprbuild was built with a different compiler than the one you have on
your PATH, but the pattern matching has got a lot better since then.
