Sigh. Instead of fighting, let's just see if we can fix the issue. The
tests for the other language test the just-built compiler. Can't we make
the GNAT test suite to do the same? It would seem that all that is
necessary is to arrange to execute the compiler as /path/to/xgcc
-B<whatever>. If the path to the GNAT can be specified, this would seem
to be fixable.
It's OK if the default remains as it is, but it should be possible for
"make check" to work in a consistent way on all languages. If any
language is "special" this makes life harder for the backend developers
and makes it more likely that they will break the "special" language,
because it is harder to test.
