I have spent some time thinking about this.  Some work would have to
be done to map the GNAT run-time stuff into the Linux kernel.  This is
stuff that GNAT requires from the compiler's point of view.  It is not
just a matter of the right bindings to the kernel stuff.

I'm not sure how much work it would be, but it wouldn't be impossible
to do.
