Not directly related, but when exploring the compiler's innards (only
the Ada part, since the machine definition files etc. are way outside my
competence/area of interest) I've used a GPR like
project Gcc_8 is
for Source_Dirs use ("gcc-8.1.0-build/gcc/ada",
"gcc-8.1.0/gcc/ada");
for Object_Dir use "gcc-8.1.0-build/gcc/ada";
for Languages use ("Ada", "C");
end Gcc_8;
The build process selects/generates some Ada files from templates in
the source tree, gcc-8.1.0/gcc/ada, into the build tree,
gcc-8.1.0-build/gcc/ada; the Ada objects are compiled in the build tree.
I can then use Emacs ada-mode or GPS to explore the code.
One reason for needing to do this is the AdaCore fondness for "use". For
example, bindgen.adb's context clauses are
with ALI; use ALI;
with Casing; use Casing;
with Fname; use Fname;
with Gnatvsn; use Gnatvsn;
with Hostparm;
with Namet; use Namet;
with Opt; use Opt;
with Osint; use Osint;
with Osint.B; use Osint.B;
with Output; use Output;
with Rident; use Rident;
with Stringt; use Stringt;
with Table;
with Targparm; use Targparm;
with Types; use Types;
with System.OS_Lib;
with System.WCh_Con; use System.WCh_Con;
with GNAT.Heap_Sort_A; use GNAT.Heap_Sort_A;
with GNAT.HTable;
