Note that AdaCore is already doing what you say is useless.  They are doing=
 it with their LEGO Mindstorms package (and note: "Differrently from the 20=
09 release of GNAT GPL for the LEGO MINDSTORMS NXT, the 2010 release does n=

moved AWAY from an operating system!)

And they are reportedly doing it for ARM Cortex M3 (again, bare board), onl=
y that product doesn't seem to actually exist if one goes by their website.=
  And that product too, is (or will be) bare board: "GNAT Pro Safety-Critic=
al for bareboard ARM supplies a fully configurable / customizable run-time =
library"

Still waiting for that product to become real and available.
