This in the build-library GPR tells the switches to build a shared
library. Itwas present in the build-library GPR, but didn't solve my
problem.  I just tried again ... and ... this time it worked, perhaps
because I was confused between shared & static ... it seems that things
are OK at least when the built library is dynamic ... this may be
Mac-related, since Darwin shared libraries (.dylib) contain references
to the paths of the dylibs they themselves use.

Still confused.

It seems they can be in this case (all a bit of a confusing mystery).

I do seem to have come across a couple of gprbuild/gprinstall issues in
this area. More investigation needed.

To answer my original question - it seems that a library project file
that contains a package Linker with an attribute Linker_Options was what
I was looking for.
