Compilation, I meant.  When I have an OS/compiler specific subprogram
I try to wrap it in an "interface package", and use a renaming.
A simplified example is,

with Unix_File_System;
package File_System renames Unix_File_System;

Then I can use subprograms from File_System without knowing what
the actual file system is. However, I have to make sure, before
translation of the program, that the unit file_system renames the correct
file system package before I start the compiler.
