This is a Bad Idea. You should regard the contents of /usr/bin, /usr/lib
etc as sacrosanct.

Well, yes, but you ought to make sure that /usr/GNAT/2020/bin is at the
front of your PATH & run from directories under your $HOME (i.e. under
~/mehdi). Again, you shouldn't put any of your work directories anywhere
under /usr/GNAT/2020.

In case you're new to setting PATH, try for example here:
