There is the 4.6.0 reference[1] which seems to imply that the syntax is
accepted but has no effect, and the gprbuild reference[2].

gnatmake 4.6.0 does indeed fail to process an aggregate gpr.

gprbuild GPL 2011 succeeds (modulo some strange behaviour about library
names vs project names which I think I may have introduced when I
rebuilt gprbuild vs GCC 4.6.0???).
