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.
