Hi John,

it appears that gm2 (when based on gcc-4.1.0) is seg violating when
compiling nested procedures.  (I see 111 regression tests fail on my
machine running Etch Athlon 64 Debian GNU/Linux).

It does make sense to be able to disable the build of the ulm
libraries etc - as you say, I'll see whether this can easily be done..

Gaius
