I'm not sure whether this would be an solution.

- We have to use certified compilers. An Ada to C with some C compiler
would rarly fit.

- I expect an Ada-aware environment to be able to handle even
Ada-tasks. I'm not sure that Ada-to-C translated code would work fine
for this in an environment designed only for C-programming.
