 Most existing `options' elements are lists, as shown by:

clone_output "options: $options\n"

placed at the top of `default_target_compile' (leading paths stripped 
here):

options: {ada} {additional_flags=-fno-diagnostics-show-caret -fno-diagnostics-show-line-numbers -fdiagnostics-color=never --sysroot=.../sysroot} {additional_flags=-gnatJ -c -u} {compiler=.../gcc/gnatmake --GCC=.../gcc/xgcc --GNATBIND=.../gcc/gnatbind --GNATLINK=.../gcc/gnatlink -cargs -B.../gcc -largs --GCC=.../gcc/xgcc\ -B.../gcc\ -march=rv64imafdc\ -mabi=lp64d -margs --RTS=.../riscv64-linux-gnu/lib64/lp64d/libada -q -f} timeout=300

so I did this for consistency, although in reality it doesn't matter, not 
at least for `default_target_compile', and either approach would work.

 We are not consistent here in `gnat_target_compile' anyway, as you can 
see from the two existing `concat' invocations, and also the `timeout=300' 
element.

 It can't be last because we override the default compiler otherwise
selected by this option in `default_target_compile', and then options 
passed in may override it further.  Overall I felt it to be safer if we 
placed the compiler type selection first rather than somewhere in the 
middle.

 I hope it clears your concerns.
