That starts to be useful when the build involves multiple languages, like  
Ada + C or Ada + Assembly or Ada + XML + automatic source generation or  
Ada + C + Resources files (the latter, for Windows). That starts to be  
useful also when not only the sources has to be properly configured, but  
the compilers, binders and linkers too.

GNATMake can handle Ada sources and nothing else; GPRBuild can handle any  
languages during the build process beside of Ada, even custom ones.
