Why do you use `gnatprep` for this? I prefer to select the
relevant platform dependent files by "including" the
directory they are located in with the ADA_INCLUDE_PATH and
ADA_OBJECTS_PATH environment variables.

Are you sure you are looking in the right files? Hopefully,
`gnatprep` doesn't change the original files with
preprocessor directives in them, but creates new files based
on the original files and the defined symbols.

Generally your code should be platform independent. If you
separate the platform dependent parts in a few select
package bodies and keep them in directories named after the
platforms, you can select the platform simply by setting the
environment variables "ADA_INCLUDE_PATH" and
"ADA_OBJECTS_PATH" to point to the platform you are
targeting at the moment.
