As I said, if the C programmers concerned have decided not to use XDR
(perhaps they never heard of it? perhaps it's not available from their
RTOS supplier? perhaps they think the system is homogeneous, so why
bother?) then having an XDR library on the Ada side won't help.

I believe that AdaCore's XDR version of their System.Stream_Attributes
uses real XDR representations, anyway, so that part's easy!
