Yup, easy in C. just a static const array of pointers to functions in
a separate file, the linker is then used to slap it into place.

Not yet. It's just that the M3 doesn't actually need ASM for C/C++
projects, I wanted to see if I could do the same from Ada.

At the moment, I have a Cortex-M3 board so that shall be my target, I
intend to write an equivalent of CMSIS for use as the BSP for these
chips.

As for ARM7 or other ARM's, there's no real reason why you couldn't
provide something similar. No need for a wrapper, as depending on the
platform, you'd provide a different BSP and a different startup and
for bigger ARM's, that'd be ASM. This ASM could be conditionally
assembled if need be for different ARM's.

Thanks,
Luke.
