What about this

       use GNAT.OS_Lib;

       FD     : File_Descriptor;
       Buffer : aliased char;
    begin
       FD := Open_Read ("/sys/class/gpio/gpio/XXX/value", Binary);
       Lseek (FD, 0, Seek_Set);
       if 1 = Read (FD, Buffer'Address, 1) then
          if Buffer = '1' then
             ...
