Has anyone managed to port Ted Baker's POSIX.5b library for
GNAT 3.10p to Red Hat Linux 5.0?

http://www.cs.fsu.edu/~baker/florist.html

I tried to install it, and although it compiles fine, the tests
cause immediate segmentation faults and my own application raises
an POSIX.Invalid_Argument exception before I have even executed the
first line of by Ada95 main procedure.

Any ideas of how this can be fixed?

BTW: the Florist POSIX.5b library seems to contain a nice
collection of POSIX.1/b/c compatibility tests that might be of
interest for Linux libc and pthreads developers.

Markus
