The testsuite does support testing cross compilers by various means.

If you're the maintainer you are the one doing the changes which interest
you. If this means readding files then you are the one doing this. You
do this by creating a patch, sending it to gcc-patches@ and possibly wait
for okays for parts where you aren't maintainer. For any patches to be
acceptable in GCC you need a copyright assignment on file, and a
copyright disclaimer from your employer.
Ciao,
Michael.
