	I've not used gprbuild (my personal experiments work with gnatmake, and
my pre-retirement life either didn't use GNAT or wrapped some department
specific build system around it)

	Based upon
https://docs.adacore.com/gprbuild-docs/html/gprbuild_ug/building_with_gprbuild.html
you should have the option of putting them on the command line invoking
gprbuild
"""
-largs

The arguments that follow up to the next command line separator are options
for the linker, when linking an executable.
"""

	Suspect it still requires something on the command line (to define
environment) but...
https://docs.adacore.com/gprbuild-docs/html/gprbuild_ug/gnat_project_manager.html#package-linker-attributes
in conjunction with
https://docs.adacore.com/gprbuild-docs/html/gprbuild_ug/gnat_project_manager.html#case-constructions
may be applicable -- and, at least, reduces the amount of command line
entry needed.
