I was talking about the GNU platforms, of course. autoconf-based
portability to other GNU-supported architectures should be possible
(if POSIX threads are provided by GNU libc), otherwise there is some
portability problem which might not affect only GNAT, but a wider
range of software. That's why I think these issues should be
addressed in GNU libc, so that all applications can benefit.

Ah, you can't get this information on Linux. It's shielded by the
kernel. There are some traditional values for HZ on most
architectures, but these values can change (and recently did on x86,
AFAIK).
