I've put these lines in my ~/.bash_profile to set up the paths for
gnat:

# For the GNU Ada compiler
GCC_EXEC_PREFIX=/usr/local/gnat/lib/gcc-lib/i386-linux/2.7.2.1/
export GCC_EXEC_PREFIX
ADA_INCLUDE_PATH=/usr/local/gnat/lib/gcc-lib/i386-linux/2.7.2.1/adainclude
export ADA_INCLUDE_PATH
ADA_OBJECTS_PATH=/usr/local/gnat/lib/gcc-lib/i386-linux/2.7.2.1/adalib
export ADA_OBJECTS_PATH
LD_RUN_PATH=/usr/local/gnat/lib/gcc-lib/i386-linux/2.7.2.1/adalib
export LD_RUN_PATH
C_INCLUDE_PATH=/usr/local/gnat/lib/gcc-lib/i386-linux/2.7.2.1/include
export C_INCLUDE_PATH

The down side of this approach is that my account always use the old gcc
that gnat uses, ie I can't compile C programs since some headerfiles are 
elsewhere.
You should not do this on the root account since it's not a good idea
to compile kernels with the old gcc.
