OT for this list, but you may be interested to know that the
MINGW version supports Ada tasking.

I haven't delved into it, but the GNAT manual indicates that
Ada tasking support is pretty simple if you have a minimal
amount of POSIX support. Of course, you discovered that it
doesn't quite work OOTB. Since I was just toying around when
I ran into this, I found it easier to just install MINGW.
Personally, I don't see the point in supporting Ada if you
don't support tasking, but maybe that's just me. :-)

Of course, PTC.
