...as those will work on (almost) any target system, while the actual 
implementation is going to be rather OS-dependent. And there never is a good 
reason to use a GNAT-only (or any compiler-specific, for any compiler) 
facility when there is an equivalent standard facility. Most of those 
facilities pre-date the Ada ones.
