Why doesn't ADA testsuite use newly built gnatchop/gnatmake?

I think you should really run the Ada testsuite once :-)

The problem is not here (of course the newly built compiler is tested) but in 
the preparation phase, which uses the host gnatchop and gnatmake to setup 
the testing infrastructure.  According to the comment in run_all.sh, this is 
required.  Once this is done, the target gnatmake is used to run the tests.
