Possibly the best target for this sort of thing would be the GNU HURD,
since it's microkernel based you could rewrite one of the servers in
Ada, or write a replacment for one of the stock servers that's better.

http://www.gnu.org/software/hurd/

Course, you'd need to port GNAT first for this to work...
