Are you giving us the whole story? From what I see
here, your <antcall>s are not pointing to actual
targets. So for this example, there is not even
anything to do...
<target name="x">
<antcall target="A" />
</target>
<target name="A">
<property name="small" value="a" />
</target>
...
However, if, instead, you mean you want to <antcall> a
target based on the value of a property, that's a
little different, but still not difficult. I think
all you should need is:
<target name="default">
<antcall target="target-${small}" />
</target>
<target name="target-a">
<echo message="target A!" />
</target>
<target name="target-b">
<echo message="target B!" />
</target>
<target name="target-c">
<echo message="target C!" />
</target>
<target name="target-">
<fail message="no value specified for property
"small"" />
</target>
Very contrived, but should work okay...
