Let's not worry about the arguments. The WinAVR or even AVR-GCC
is very gnat specific.  System.Address is all I need where argument
pointers are required.

The only problem to be solved is the function pointer for the C
code (ignoring portability of course). The C side is going to
set up its stack and registers and then invoke the Ada side. I
have this working in pure C, but when I try to launch an Ada
thread, things seem to fall apart.
