What is the difference? Is gprbuild a newer version of gnatmake? What are
their differences?

gnatmake is part of the compiler suite (it's used in the compiler
build). gprbuild is not part of the compiler; it used only to be
generally available in source form as part of GNAT GPL releases, but
nowadays it's on github[1].
From there, "GPRbuild is an advanced build system designed to help
automate the construction of multi-language systems."; it understands
multiple languages (C, C++, Fortran at least - I haven't tried Fortran).
GCC 6 said
warning: gnatmake -P is obsolete and will not be available in the
next release; use gprbuild instead
but in fact GCC 8.0.0's gnatmake will accept project files (to some
extent, anyway, on a simple test).

This is misleading. gprbuild is in the GNAT GPL and supported releases; since 2014 it's bundled with the compiler.
One feature of gprbuild is that it is multi-language; by default it knows how to build C, C++, and Ada programs, and you can teach it about compilers for other languages.

Agree that binary releases from AdaCore contain a matching gprbuild. But
other binary releases didn't; for example, Debian and my Mac releases
had to use the latest source from GNAT GPL.
If you build the compiler from sources there will be a gnatmake; but
there will not be a gprbuild, because gprbuild is not part of the
compiler itself.

"Will"?
gnatmake of my GCC 7.1.0 (not 8.0.0) does accept project files:
gnatmake -p -c -Plibrdf.gpr -XLIBRARY_KIND=static -XOBJ_DIR=./obj-static -
Xsoversion=librdf-ada.so.2.0.15 -XMODE=Install -XDEBUG_MODE=check

In the sense of "is prepared to", equivalent to "does", near enough

But that may be because gnatmake is in fact invoking gprbuild; if
compilation logs look like
compile
[Ada] foo.adb
then they are from gprbuild.
