gnatmake -M perhaps? for 3.10p,

   -M Check if all objects are up to date. If they are output the object
      dependences to stdout in a form that can be directly exploited
      in a `Makefile'. By default, each source file is prefixed with
      its (relative or absolute) directory name. This name is whatever
      you specified in the various -aI and -I switches. If you use
      gnatmake -M -q (see -q below), only the source file names,
      without relative paths, are output. If you just specify the -M
      switch, dependencies of the GNAT internal system files are
      omitted. This is typically what you want. If you also specify
      the -a switch, dependencies of the GNAT internal files are also
      listed. Note that dependencies of the objects in external Ada
      libraries (see switch -aLdir in the following list) are never
      reported.
