That starts to be useful when the build involves multiple languages, lik=

Ada + C + Resources files (the latter, for Windows). That starts to be  =

the compilers, binders and linkers too.

GNATMake can handle Ada sources and nothing else; GPRBuild can handle an=

languages during the build process beside of Ada, even custom ones.
