That _might_ be the worst option available.
For one thing, it ties you to that specific OS; another is that the the Ada runtime _can_ take care of a lot of things in a higher-level manner (e.g. tasking) than relying on the OS & libraries (like how C++ uses Boost to do parallelism)... as you can see that option might require compiling the runtime itself for that target (with attendant fiddling to suit the architecture).
A third, and more hybrid approach would be to define the operations/functionality you need in a package and put all your low-level stuff into the body thereof. This however presents [or tends to] more of the weaknesses of both methods than the strengths of either.
