<<What is urgently missing for real Linux system development is Linux
low-level access as well as an implementation of the full POSIX.5
Ada API. Has this already been done somewhere or is any work on
this in progress?

How widely implemented is the POSIX.5 API (standardized Ada versions
of the common Unix system calls) anyway?

Interesting to see these two paragraphs next to one another. The first
claims it is urgent to implement the full POSIX.5 Ada API. The second
asks how widely implemented this package is.

Perhaps the question should be answered before the urgency is declared :-)
