Yes, this is correct. This should happen as soon as possible as it
dramatically reduces the difficulty of maintaining the Makefiles.

This is a separate issue.

I'm not aware of any formal documentation. I'd recommend looking at
gcc/objc/Make-lang.in and libobjc/Makefile.in, these are the simplest
language and runtime makefiles we have.
Ignore the libtool gunge in libobjc/Makefile.in, you don't need or
want to deal with getting shared libgnat support running at the same
time as a major rearrangement like this.
If it is not practical to remove the runtime from the compiler
directory at this time, you can just transplant the rules which are
relevant during "make bootstrap" to Make-lang.in, leaving only the
rules for "make gnatlib_and_tools" in Makefile.in.
