Don't rush. It might freeze upon loading. If it does, which is most 
likely the case when the library does anything beyond trivial 
computations. Then

1. add for Library_Auto_Init use "false";

2. make sure that gnatbind is invoked without -a switch

3. call <libname>init before first use of the library. E.g. if the 
library name is foo then

procedure Init_My_Library;
pragma Import ("C", Init_My_Library, "fooinit");
