Just a followup.  I started down this path as a parallel option.  It really
wants to use memset to do the assignment.  I didn't yet find an Ada memset
procedure in those libraries (I only browsed some.  Nothing popped up in
the filenames that made me think memset would be in there).  Is that something
you relied on GCC to provide or did you roll your own and I am just missing it?

With my current build setup, I am turning off cstdlib, so I don't have memset
available unless I roll my own.  Not a problem, but just thought I would ask.
