A DLL that includes GNAT run-time and thus does not depend on GNAT DLLs 
is called stand-alone. See

https://docs.adacore.com/gprbuild-docs/html/gprbuild_ug/gnat_project_manager.html#stand-alone-library-projects

You must have

   for Library_Standalone use "encapsulated";

in your library project.

P.S. It does not work well for Windows, see another discussion thread.
