That has not been our experience at all with GNATWorks (the
version of GNAT Professional running on VxWorks).

First, we have run into an absolute minimum of problems with
VxWorks. This is probably partly due to the fact that GNAT is a
natural fit to the VxWorks technology, since we share a common
gcc/gdb code base.

Second, when we have needed to deal with WindRiver (we provide
one stop shopping type support, so we consider it our job to
deal with WindRiver when the need arises), we have found out
what we need to know, and have no experience of WindRiver being
"stumped". Clearly if you simply dump an Ada problem onto WR
you will be in trouble, since they do not have Ada expertise
specifically, but that does not make sense anyway. That's what
the Ada vendor is supposed to take care of.
