Well, the first thing to do is really to fix the documentation, since
GCC_EXEC_PREFIX is mentioned in several places in the documentation,
in an inconsistent manner.
Some places do document the behavior which the Ada test suite would like
to rely upon (GCC_EXEC_PREFIX strictly equivalent to the -B switch), that's
basically the old behavior, and some other places don't (that's the new
behavior).
I would personally vote for fixing things so that GCC_EXEC_PREFIX can be
used instead of -B
