Thanks Stephen and Simon for the suggestions,

Executing the above commands pointed out that I hadn't set the ENV_PREFIX variable correctly,
which was why my compiler install was not being detected.
 From this I was eventually able to get things to compile and execute using gprbuild.

There were a few other things I had to setup as well, for example, the run-time had to be
explicitly linked in via the project file directives for Raspian, but for the x86 builds, this wasn't necessary.
(This was only needed for an executable for which the main was written in C, calling Ada, otherwise
the project files involving pure Ada code did not require any modifications)

Cheers,

Brad
