I thought I was, but perhaps I'm not doing it correctly.

I have all of the Ada code compiled into a library (libsimlib.a) and I initialize the Ada through a generated function: 'simlibinit()'

The C code then makes multiple pthread_create() calls to spawn off each thread.
The function pointer passed to pthread_create() is a C function that wraps the Ada call. For example:

extern e_mainline();
int rtctl_rts() {
  e_mainline();
  return 0;
}

pthread_create(&tid, attrp, &rtctl_rts, NULL);

where 'e_mainline' is exported from the RTCTL package with:
pragma EXPORT(Ada, E_MAINLINE, "e_mainline");
