NPTL has been integrated into Linux 2.6 and glibc 2.3.  Apparently,
there are issues with GNAT 3.15p tasking when using these two.

I have not personally tried Linux 2.6 yet.  I would appreciate it if
someone running Debian could test tasking with Linux 2.6 and GNAT
3.15p.  If there are problems, I'll add release notes in
README.Debian.

In this case, you are not using NPTL.

Would you consider making additional Ada packages for Debian?
