gcc-dg.exp is written in a language I don't know, I don't
know how it is called, what are the available tools, how it infers its
list of test, how it understands results, how to precompile common
files or handle special cases.

The sh script is two-third of the size of gcc-dg.exp and
does what is needed. It is understandable by just
about anyone able to write a sh script.
It's a one line change to test post install,
and another line change to test in a simulator,
a few lines to loop over flags if needed.

Sorry to look stupid, gcc-dg.exp is *hard* for me.

As I said, if someone for whom it is "easy"
to make a dg Ada framework contributes it,
I'll use it (I assume there will be
minimal comments on how to add a test
or something to be precompiler).

Sincerely,

Laurent
