We need a gdb.ada directory, we ...

Yes I agree, and this is high on my GDB todo list. I just haven't
got around to doing it yet. But I'll do it hopefully sometimes soon.
(still traveling for a few more days, which explains my silence).

I don't mind at all writing an Ada test for this, but I think it would
be more profitable for the GDB community if that test was written using
C++. That's because it is more common to have a C++ compiler installed
compared to an Ada one. Probably it wouldn't hurt to have both?

OK, I'll work on the C++ test, shouldn't be too hard to create one.
But it'll have to wait for a few days until I get home.
