The threading building blocks consists of a huge amount of code not even 
remotely designed for running over a dual kernel system, so they issue 
regular linux system calls under the hood, either directly or indirectly 
by calling other library services. Not to speak of the C++ runtime which 
introduces its own set of issues.

In short, TBB won't care about a very basic Xenomai 2.x requirement: 
services in real-time mode (i.e. primary) should be obtained from 
Xenomai APIs, excluding regular linux system calls. One of these APIs is 
a subset of the POSIX specification aimed at real-time programming 
though, but this is likely not enough to cover every service the TBB 
invokes.

Diving into the TBB implementation would be required to figure out what 
happens there, and whether using a construct in real-time mode over a 
dual kernel is ever possible.
