gnat is a member of the gcc compiler family, and is distributed under
the terms of the GPL.  (Actually, a slightly modified GPL, to let you
link to GPL'd libraries - I think.)  The source is freely available for
downloading at the NYU ftp site.

Yes, the source code is written in Ada.  I don't know about which parts
of the source do the threading stuff, but the source is relatively
simple to figure out.  

Try posting your message to the gnat chat list too.  The ACT guys monitor
that list, and can probably give you answers directly.

The list is 

<mailto:chat@gnat.com>

but I think you have to subscribe.  To subscribe, you send a message to
(I think) 

<mailto:chat-request@gnat.com>

The website might have the exact syntax.
