That seems like an artificial distinction. If my C code works on every
Unix platform, why should I worry about whether the code depends on C
functions or on POSIX ones? Further out, is it not an advantage that a
language have libraries regularly available to do something where Ada has
no corresponding libraries? Or that a C library is well-maintained where
an Ada binding to that library is not?
