C++ Dependencies on MacOS

I am compiling a c++ networking console app on MacOS with a bunch of static libraries. I can see a C++ runtime, curl, and system dylib as a dependency of the application:

$  otool -L test_application
    /usr/lib/libcurl.4.dylib (compatibility version 7.0.0, current version 9.0.0)
    /usr/lib/libc++.1.dylib (compatibility version 1.0.0, current version 1300.23.0)
    /usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib (compatibility version 1.0.0, current version 1311.100.3)

The curl comes with static CurlPP, a c++ wrapper for CURL, and the others are implicit. Are these system-level dylibs that I do not need to deploy and is there a way to know this programmatically and not just seeing if it runs on a clean machine?
