Well Ada threading model is based on the hardware/OS threading model (at least
this is true for many Ada compilers). But of course an Ada compiler work
around all the little differences between OS threading model to give you the
very same behavior under whatever OS you use.

You get it ? In C you have all this work to do by yourself. Are we talking
about portability here ?
