Actually, you can do this already and you can customise the runtime (search=
 for configurable within system.ads) so that you only provide a limited set=
 of features. See https://github.com/Lucretia/tamp where I do exactly that =
to provide a zero footprint runtime for bare boards. It does take an age to=
 compile due to building acats on the native compiler as well.
