FSF GCC has the ACATS tests (not the latest version, though) + some
GNAT-specific tests (there are 947 source files, some tests require as
many as 3 sources).

AdaCore tell us that they have, in addition, test cases that they don't
make public (a lot of them are from bugs reported by customers and may
contain sensitive material); and that all these tests are run on a
regular basis.

I would have expected there to be a set of tests about numerics, and I'd
have expected these tests to be re-run after the refactoring that
happened at the GCC 4.6-4.7 change.
