You can call C functions (and probably anything that
uses C calling conventions, on the same platform).
Have a look at Interfaces.C.  This package is defined
by the Ada language.

A similar feature exists for C++ classes, at least
with some compilers, covering some amount of C++.

How would your program benefit from first wrapping system
functions (that use C conventions) in C++ classes only for
having to match Ada's O-O types and C++'s O-O types in
a second step?
Seems like an artificial setup to me.
