Also, once we have a test harness for ordinary Ada tests similar to the
harnesses for other languages, contributing a test case for every change
ACT make unless there's some reason you can't (e.g. the harness doesn't
support it, or attempts to create a nonconfidential test case for a
problem shown up in confidential code fail), following the normal
requirements for contributing to GCC.  This way a useful test suite can
continue to be built up over time.

(This applies both to front end changes, and to changes to the rest of GCC
to fix problems shown up by Ada test cases.)
