GNAT 3.10p is old.  I suggest you try GNAT 3.15p fom
ftp://ftp.cs.nyu.edu/pub/gnat.  There are binaries for various
operating systems.

ez2load is even older and is not a complete Ada 95 compiler.  I
suggest you forget about it.

PS. The error you see is not related to Ada or GNAT; it is really a
DOS error.  It means that the batch file sets too many environment
variables, or that the values of some variables are too long.  DOS
(this includes Windows 95 and 98) has severe limitations in this
respect.  Check the installation instructions for GNAT, there may be
explanations on how to work around these limitations.
