Hi people,

While trying to figure the cause of some weird errors while compiling wi=
th  =

a GNAT cross=E2=80=91compiler, I noticed the wrong GPRBind was invoked (=
not  =

matching the target).

I fixed this using

     for Switches ("Ada") use ("--gnatbind_path=3D/=E2=80=A6/<target>-gn=
atbind");

=E2=80=A6 in the Builder package of the project file, which can also be =
made a  =

default editing a `*.cgpr` file or one of the files of the GPRConfig  =

database.

Then I noticed there is a `<target>-gcc`, and a `<target>-ld`  and so on=
,  =

for each of my targets including the native one, but only a  =

`<target>-gnatbind` for non=E2=80=91native target, and the native one on=
ly exist  =

as unprefixed.

So I will rename all non=E2=80=91prefixed GNAT tools to give them a targ=
et prefix  =

and will remove the default (with all non=E2=80=91prefix named tools) GN=
AT  =

compiler suite to only have the ones I compiled, so that I will always g=
et  =

an error whenever any one of these tools is unfortunately invoked using =
a  =

non=E2=80=91prefixed name, which is error=E2=80=91prone as this is likel=
y to not be the  =

one for the target.

I don't really have any question, that's just to tell people in case any=
  =

one encounter a similar issue. I still wonder why, as compilation of GCC=
  =

and Binutils generates a prefixed version of all of their tools, why don=
't  =

compilation of GNAT do the same.
