You could use: -gnateD on your command line or GPS options list

  -gnateD?  Define or redefine preprocessing symbol, e.g. -gnateDsym=val

Where use could set a variable to the architecture path you wish to use 
such as for a 32-bit arch

gnat make  -gnateDArchLib="/usr/lib/'  <filename>

     then for the 64 bit arch use

gnat make   -gnateDArchLib="/usr/lib64/'   <filename>


--
--  ArchLib is define in commnd line options. if not present an error 
--  will be generated.
--
   Libs_Path : String := ArchLib ;

   ...

   open ( File => LibFlile, 
          Name => Libs_Path & FileName, 
          Mode => In_File ) ;
