ENOMEM is not a variable, it is a constant, sometimes defined as a C
macro in libc, in which case it cannot be imported.  In GNAT it is
(re-)defined as a constant by the various incarnations of the package
System.OS_Interface, the spec of which is one of the files
s-osinte-*.ads.

The with statement is in the spec of the package
System.Task_Primitives.Operations, in s-taprop.ads, and the use
statement is in the body, in the appropriate s-taprop-*.adb.

You should really learn how Ada packages work :)
