In theory all features could be programmed in Ada itself as the Ada ISO
standart contains system programming and  "inline assembler" in one of the
optional Anex.

In Praxis it depends on the target operating system. If you have a Linux
distribution you you can check the "praxis" part yourself - just install
the GCC sources and check the "gcc/ada" directory - there are 34 C files
and 755 ada files there. That's for the library and the compiler.
