> So yes, Ada is not C and the runtime needs more. Does anyone think it mig=
ht be possible for the community to come to some sort of near agreement on =
some ultra minimal OS/RTOS that would provide the needed functionality to i=
mplement all the Ada features but contain nothing else. This would sort of =
be a micro-kernel for embedded space that more facilities including full si=
ze operating systems would be built from.

This would be very good. I use Ada also as a hobby for programming AVR 8-bi=
ts chips in bare metal, such minimal RTOS would be very good. RTEMS is an o=
ption, but it does not implement all Ada features (for 8-bits AVRs), and it=
 seems not to be very light for these chips.
