My understanding of RTLinux was that it provides its own "real-time"
system calls for real-time routines to call. Thus you can run a standard
Linux executable on it, but it *wont* be real-time unless it is recoded
to use the real-time calls. In order to get a real-time Ada program,
you'd need to rewrite the compiler's tasking executive to use the
real-time system calls instead of the normal ones.
