I guess I wasn't clear.  It's the running jobs that are checkpointed.
However, since Condor manages the checkpointing your executable has to
have some Condor modules linked in.

It doesn't require any changes to your source, so I ass-u-me that
they just replace some standard library modules with their own.  That's
what makes me thing gcc-based GNAT might work with it.
