This is exactly what I'm trying to do, as I'm testing with the
stage1 compiler that happens to miscompile the stage2 compiler,
so I guessed it might be easier to debug the testsuite fallout
of the stage1 compiler.

I'm used to do ./xgcc -B/whatever in the gcc/ directory, maybe
gnatmake can be taught to do the required setup following this
way, too?  Or a split-out script with just the required environment
setup I can source in contrib/ or testsuite/ada?  That would be
of great help.

Thanks for the quick response,
Richard.

ok, I'll try to install the stage1 compiler.
