The clue is in the "Select your platform" list on the download page:
"ARM ELF format (hosted on Linux)" - or "on Windows". This is a
cross-compiler, run on a host x86 computer (Windows or Linux) which
produces executables to run on an ARM ELF target computer.

What I don't know is whether the executables run on a bare metal target
(which might happen to be a Pi board) or whether they run on a Pi which
is running Linux. I strongly suspect the former, especially because the
"Select your platform" entry for "Raspberry Pi 2 Linux (32 bits) (hosted
on Linux)" is greyed out! (it was available in GNAT GPL 2016).
