This isn't a GPR thing, it's a GNAT thing: GNAT has no extensions here
beyond the requirement.
If you have a minimal bare-board project without any requirement for the
Ada runtime system, it's possible to do what you ask: see Maciej
Sobczak's 'Ada and SPARK on ARM Cortex-M' tutorial[1], in particular the
'First Chapter'[2].
It would be hard (and pointless) to attempt this for a program intended
to run on a typical operating system.
