I suggest you look up the -n switch to gnatmake.

And I would say that if your program is so small that you can afford
to 

   loop
      gnat compile a unit
      gnat bind
      exit when it finally tells you you haven't forgotten anything
   end loop

you have a pretty small problem, so you might as well forget about
demonstrating your cleverness and use gnatmake.
