Well, I've found the problem my s-taprop.adb looks like tihs:

  Result := pthread_setschedparam (T.LL.Thread, SCHED_FIFO, Param'Access);
  pragma Assert (Result = 0
                 or else Shutdown ("GNULLI failure---Set_Priority"));

Not very strange that my programs didn't run...(when I wasn't root)...
Might it be possible to remove the offending Shutdown and just ignore
that the call failed?
