I do think so, since Laurent Guerby has been working on setting up the 
ACATS (Ada Conformity Assessment Test Suite). The executable part of 
this test suite contains about 2300 tests, and these have proven quite 
useful as a coverage test for the Ada language and the back end as well.

He raised a question on the list the other day, on how these tests could
best be integrated. Since I am not yet familiar with the GCC testsuite,
I'd like somebody else to answer this question, 
see <http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc/2001-10/msg01305.html>.
Anyway, as noted in Laurent's message, legal analysis is still pending at 
FSF holding up integration at this point. Hopefully that will change before
the branch.
