Installed on mainline; if someone wants me to, happy to apply to older
branches as well.

I doubt this is a good idea: while you can find out what version of
ACATS is included in GCC, the information is somewhat hard to find
(gcc/testsuite/ada/acats/support/acats25.lst) and what update has been
used cannot be easily determined at all.  I'd keep the version
reference.  Arnaud?

I'll be happy to add the concrete version number if Arnaud prefers.

I'd even go further and clarify that the tests represent "a modified subset of
executable tests from the ACATS 2.5 testsuite", to make it clear that these
have no "official" status and do not correspond to the original tests
exactly.

It would be good (though probably not in sourcebuild.texi) to describe
the modifications.  I noticed some when trying to identify the exact
version of upstream ACATS 2.5 that is included, and this info would help
for a move to 3.0 in the future.

Thanks.

You can use svn log and svn diff for that.

Only for the `what', but often they don't explain the `why'.
