Hi people,

I don't like when something does not behave as expected without an error=
  =

message, or the same, get silently ignored.

As an example, I just wanted to pass a `--target=3D=E2=80=A6` option to =
GPRBuild in  =

the Builder package of a project file, but it was silently ignored. I  =

later noticed the documentation indeed list this as part of the options =
 =

that may only be passed to GPRBuild's command line, and not in project  =

files [1].

Now I know, but I still feel it would be better to get a plain error  =

message (and compilation failure) when an option is passed via the Build=
er  =

package which GPRBuild does not handle.
