If the predefined library doesn't meet your needs you do indeed have a
lot of work ahead of you; often small beer in the overall scope (eg,
safety-related systems with SIL4 software => no runtime at all [GNAT
high integrity edition for example] highly desirable if not absolutely
necessary precondition for certification).

But if it does meet your needs you're crazy not to use it!
