I wrote gnatef[1] many years ago when you needed to set several
environment variables to get things to work properly (PATH, of course,
C_INCLUDE_PATH, GCC_EXEC_PREFIX, possibly others). I still use it
(setting GNAT_PREFIX to the location of the version I want to use,
e.g. /opt/gcc-4.9.0) but in fact modern GNATs use the location of
gnatmake (or, I expect, gprbuild) to set things up: so you can either
set PATH or say e.g. /opt/gnat-gpl-2014/bin/gnatmake -P foo. On Unixes,
at any rate.
