The Readme is saying:

"This is the README file for the binary distribution of GNAT.
This directory contains the files needed for installing and running
GNAT.
It includes the C compiler also."

....


According to the Readme I have to make the configure and after that I
have to fire up the doinstall program. 

There is another distribution for the Sun available but only in the
Readmes and not at any of the gnat-mirrors.
