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...
