Maybe, depending on the restrictions. Also, depending on how
the object code is to be installed: there is a documented
way to use a C main, not an Ada main; if this, in spite
of mentioning C, can mean that you just call the object
code using C conventions, then linking need not be done at
the Ada tools chain's end. If your object code is guaranteed
not to require Ada RT support, it should work, I think.

Some bits of a reduced RTS may be ready for inspection
with implementations of GNAT for smaller computers
(incl. no OS, IIRC). I'd start by looking for ARM, Cortex,
STM32, Atmega, ...
