Surprisingly, this information is found in the Gnat User's Guide in the
obsurely-named section titled "The gnat.adc file," viz.:

The gnat.adc file
In GNAT a compilation environment is defined by the current directory at the
time that a compile command is given. This current directory is searched for
a file whose name is `gnat.adc'. If this file is present, it is expected to
contain one or more configuration pragmas that will be applied to the
current compilation.

Configuration pragmas may be entered into the `gnat.adc' file either by
running gnatchop on a source file that consists only of configuration
pragmas, or more conveniently by direct editing of the `gnat.adc' file,
which is a standard format source file.

A search of the User's guide for ".adc" will bring to light
several other references to this file.
