I was wondering about the move to gcc-4.1.

I noticed that Waldeck Hebisch and others got GNU Pascal to work under 
gcc-4.0 and gcc-4.1.

If it isn't already too late it might be a good idea to talk to them.  I 
was going to ask but work flared up and I know next to nothing about gcc 
internals.  Merging Modula2 would have been a great way to learn though. ;-)
