The GNAT tasking support implemented for Linux uses a version of POSIX
threads made by Chris Provenzano <proven@mit.edu> which says it is
"based on" 1003.1c 1995.
It is at sipb.mit.edu:/pub/pthreads.
The reason for considering it for DU is that, in all the releases I
have available, the pthreads support doesn't supply what the Linux
GNAT runtime requires. Thanks for letting me know why!
