There is no point in messing around with this. Even if you
managed to get it working, there are some significant bugs
in gcc-2.95.2 so you would get an unreliable result.

GNAT version 3.12 is specifically designed to be built with
GCC 2.8.1. Right now, there is concentrated work going on
to create a unified gcc build that will contain all the
necessary fixes and patches from GCC 2.8.1, as well as the
new features and fixes from the EGCS development. A future
version of GNAT will be built using this merged version.

Meanwhile, the advice is to use GNAT as distributed and
built with GCC 2.8.1. If you want to use g++ built with
gcc-2.95.2, that's fine, and if you want to link gnat and
g++ stuff together that also works fine, see GNAT documentation
for details.
