We did desktop testing (mainly functional, some timing) on Windows for
deployment on powerpc-wrs-vxworks. On-target validation & verification
was hugely simplified, and I don't recall any instances of on-target
failures that were down to compilation differences.

We retained the same logging in the two environments; on the host, via a
low-priority task to standard output; on the target, via ethernet to a
logging computer. So the Ada code of the subsystem under test wasn't
altered.
