Keep in mind that ada testing *needs a working ada compiler* in the
first place.
If you don't have one, this can be rather painful. You need access to a
platform with a working ada compiler in order to build a cross-compiler,
and you may have to figure out all kinds of not so nice stuff about
cross-compilation.
Been there, done that for i386-OpenBSD. Probably going to do it for
sparc64 at some point in time, as well, but this is not exactly my cup
of tea...
