All we can say is that GNAT is strictly conforming with Annex
D of the RM when FSU threads are used, and the semantics in
this case can be determined from the RM. If Linux threads
are used, you get standard Linux threads dispatching behavior,
and you should consult the relevant Linux documentation to
understand exactly what that means. For sure, the Linux threads
are NOT Annex D compliant, but we do not attempt to exactly
characterize the disparity. We do not expect this situation to
change for the 3.14 release, so if you need exact RM compliance,
you must use FSU threads.
