I guess you could, but I wouldn't.
For the DLLI interface, leave it to the called library user to know
whether the library containes "adainit" and "adafinal" because it
was developed in Ada with GNAT.
For an Ada library (GNAT developed since other compilers probably
do things differently) to be useful and transparent to C callers,
then one would try to associate the "adainit" and "adafinal" to the
automatic "init" and "fini" functions. These functions are called
by the dynamic-loader when you do a "dlopen()"
In general, I would not try to put "adainit" and "adafinal" in the
dlli package, let the user worry about it.
