Do you mean something like this:

------------- SPEC ---------------
package Import_Test is
   
   procedure Asm_Coded;
   
end Import_Test;

----------------------------------

------------- BODY ---------------

package body Import_Test is

   pragma Import (Assembler, Asm_Coded, "donothing");   
   pragma Linker_Options ("nothing_asm.o");
   
end Import_Test;

----------------------------------

I thought about it also as it sounds like a good idea, but this will
not compile. So it still remains in spec.
