Finally, that's not loosing anything: the `--target` option is not safe =
at  =

all, using the `--config` option is better. The reason is that with  =

`--config` you are sure to get what you expect or else an error. With  =

`--target`, if it does not find the compiler with the default  =

configuration, you may have an `aut.cgpr` for a different target than th=
e  =

one specified for the option.

When passing the target to the project file is required, then an externa=
l  =

variable may be used, as with an `-Xtarget=3D=E2=80=A6` option given to =
GPRBuild.

The `--target` option should only be used with explicit invocations of  =

GPRConfig, not with GPRBuild.
