The development version of AVR-Ada includes bindings to avr-threads:
http://avr-ada.git.sourceforge.net/git/gitweb.cgi?p=3Davr-ada/avr-ada;a=3Db=
lob;f=3Davr/avr_lib/avr-threads.ads;h=3D635c5ea92aba2621cc4d7c98085033645b7=
ed6a6;hb=3DHEAD

It isn't as easy to use as native Ada tasks, but at least you don't
need to implement tasking by yourself.
