I was thinking that this should be 'pragma Export(C, READY, "ready")'
instead - but that doesn't seem to have any effect.

As long as the pragma is present, I cannot assign a value.

I even tried:

Sem_READY : Semaphore;
READY         : Semaphore_Descriptor :=
POSIX.Semaphores.Descriptor_Of( Sem_READY );
pragma Export( Ada, READY, "ready");

thinking that it would initialize, but still get an uninitialized
'READY'...
