Really? As the person who wrote this file and as the main tasking expert
of GNAT, I think I can be so assertive on this topic.

No, s-taprop-linux.adb is only meant to be used under Linux and only
guaranteed to work under linux.
Using this file on non linux systems is bound to cause troubles and is not a
good idea.
If you're looking for a file shared among several platforms with a known
API, then as I said, using s-taprop-posix.adb is the way to go. That's what
I would do anyway if I were to port GNAT to kfreebsd properly.
