No current version of GNAT allows selection of whether or not to use OS
threads, but the design certainly allows the construction of such a runtime,
or more likely selection of runtimes.

FOr example, on the SGI, we use OS threads, but it is probably not THAT
difficult to take the threads emulator we use on SunOS and get it working
on the SGI, and it should be even easier to create this kind of option
for Solaris. But we aren't doing anything along these lines at the moment.
