Referring to [2], you also need to be careful (GNAT & VxWorks at least)
if the C calling thread isn't an Ada task; the Ada code expects the
VxWorks TCB to contain a pointer to auxiliary Ada RTS structures.

Call GNAT.Threads.Register_Thread (as early as possible in the called
Ada subprogram, I guess! before it needs the secondary stack, for
example)
