Sorry, the first answer slipped through my fingers.
Usually, patches under Unix are applied to an original file using the program
``patch'', which normally reads the diff file directly from standard input,
as in:
patch <patchfile
You should consult the man-page of patch for specific features pertinent to
your machine and version of AIX. Although I have---so far---never patched
anything, I am assured that there is a README for patching (if not part of the
old distribution of gnat 3.07, you might wish to look at a newer one).
Hope this helps!

Thank you for this answer.
actually, some hours after i posted my question, I found this myself.
But, thanks again.
I tried to compile gcc 2.7.2 with ada included..
after some hours of compilation (the RS6000 is a 8 year old 25 MHz machine)
the build died because "gnat1" could not be linked by "ld".
The reason was that the TOC (table of contents, i assume) has had
more than 65536 entries.
Then I fetched the "binutils" in order to link with gnu-ld,
but this gave the same error.
I have given up to have "glade" on my AIXen (I have 7, but 5 of them
run AIX 3.2 and will never be upgraded).
GNAT is not the only compiler that i would like to have on
this old set of machines. Normally i use Fortran, but i am stuck
with IBM xlf-3.1, since this is the last version that runs on AIX 3.2.
IBM does not supply the actual version xlf-5x for the old OS
Isn't it a shame that one is forced to upgrade systems?
I am shure that the compilers would run smoothly on the old OSes,
would they only be compiled on the old OSes.
I do not want to change my running systems!!!

Yes. You need to compile everything with the GCC -mminimal-toc flag.
But I don't think you will get any version of GNAT to work safisfactorilly on
AIX 3.x. You really need 4.1.4 here, mainly because the 3.x versions have no threads.

If you want to maintain old stuff, do it with motorcycles, it's less
frustrating :-)

Thanks for the hint about "gcc -minimal-toc", I will try this
(in some weeks).
Do I need threads?
I wanted to use GLADE to experiment with parallel programming with
Ada. Now I do this in Fortran using PVM, but I thought it would be more
elegant (and perhaps more portable) using Ada.
I wanted to start only one program per machine.
Would I need threads for this?
