From the GNAT user's guide:

A.6 Linux-Specific Considerations The default thread library under GNU/Linux has the following disadvantages compared to other native thread libraries: The size of the task's stack is limited to 2 megabytes. The signal model is not POSIX compliant, which means that to send a signal to the process, you need to send the signal to all threads, e.g. by using killpg().

I would *guess* that the user's guide talks about Linuxthreads, not the newer NPTL. One would hope that the Native Posix Threading Library is Posix-compliant. The stack limit might of course be present in both, or it might not.
