No, GNAT.Sockets does not assume Linux conventions. There are different
target dependent versions for various targets, including a VxWorks
specific set of units. We don't make judgments as to who is out on
a limb, but for sure there are differences and the current version
of GNAT.Sockets in GNAT Pro is implemented for all native targets
except OpenVMS, and all cross targets except Lynx (those two
will be filled in sometime in the near future).
