That seems plausible - presumably "runtest --tool ada" will be used in
"make check" to run both those and other Ada tests?

It is arguable that perhaps the CVS vendor branch mechanism should be used
- import the unmodified sources on the vendor branch with GCC's modified
version on the mainline. This should make it easy to use CVS to see what
the differences from unmodified ACATS are. I don't know whether whatever
tests it is deliberately decided to drop rather than include in the GCC
testsuite should also go on the vendor branch, or whether it should just
be documented which are dropped.

We ought to have a link to this from the Ada section of readings.html.
