Subject: Does GNAT support a thread-free RTS?

It used to be that you could configure GNAT to use a tasking RTS that
didn't use threads; tasks were scheduled entirely within the RTS. I
think these may be called 'green threads'[1]. Of course, this meant that
blocking on I/O would block the whole program, but for some purposes it
might be ideal.
I don't see any trace of this in FSF GCC; has it gone for good?
