I prefer to keep the source tree as clean as possible:
Since no files are generated in the source directory, I do not
understand your comment. All files are generated in the build directory.
Your proposed change would result in always building the tools,
which is not acceptable, since for releases we want to include the
generated sources and not require a full GNAT installation.
This greatly simplifies making new ports using a cross-compiler.
