The MaRTE Ada Real-Time OS has a POSIX package. And there's RTEMS. So take a look at these project and you might find what your looking for in a package or two. Now to answer your initial question, of why? Ada and C was never design for POSIX or any other OS API, except for basic IO. Which means that the user or usergroups had to design the APIs for C and Ada. Well in the case of Ada, most users are creating programs that do not use POSIX. And only a limited number of users are creating POSIX API apps which means that Florist will not contain them until that changes. And that is unlikely to happen until Microsoft goes POSIX only or stop creating a Windows OS.
