Try running gprbuild with the "-vm" or "-vh" flag, which should tell you
the reasons for the recompilations.

They are built in the object directory and copied to the library
directory. That is the way it is.

It seems to need some automake/autoconf dance which didn't work
immediately, and in any case

   Compile
      [Ada]          boiler-rdf_recursive_descent.adb
   boiler-rdf_recursive_descent.adb:18:06: file "rdf.ads" not found

but I won't pursue that.
