True, but implementations aren't required to support any foreign language described in Annex B. B(2): "Support for interfacing to any foreign language is optional." So it's not required for an Ada compiler to support interfacing to C. (And I hope it wouldn't be, not because interfacing to C isn't important, but I sure wouldn't want every compiler to be required to interface to COBOL and Fortran, which are also part of Annex B.)
