To get rid of libc, C and all this? ;) A native kernel interface
would be nice to eliminate possible implementation errors in libc.

On the other hand as far as I can see there is no binary representation
of the linux-kernel, in other words, you'll need to dynamically
adapt the Ada memory layout to the corresponding kernel (+compiler).

Another way would be to specify the Kernel-ABI, but I don't expect
this to happen earlier than Hurd ;)

AdaOS would probably come along with a well-defined ABI and no
libc, but libada.
