I don't think AdaCore are 100% consistent on this, but they have used
an environment variable LIBRARY_TYPE to control GPRs: for example, (one
of mine),

   project BC is

      type Library_T is ("static", "relocatable");
      Library_Type : Library_T := external ("LIBRARY_TYPE", "static");

      for Library_Name use "bc";
      for Library_Kind use Library_Type;
      for Library_Dir use "../../lib/bc/lib-" & Library_Type;
      for Externally_Built use "true";
      for Source_Dirs use ("../../include/bc/");

   end BC;
