Hi Dave,

just wondering whether you tried to build GNU Modula-2 with
gm2-harness-0.93 ?  This latest harness, by default, grafts gm2 onto
gcc-3.3.6 and builds a bootstrap gcc before building gm2.  GM2 based
on 3.3.6 passes all regression tests on a variety of hardware and *ux
platforms.

It would be interesting to know whether these instructions fail on
your machine:

ie:


wget http://floppsie.comp.glam.ac.uk/download/c/gm2-harness-0.93.tar.gz
tar zxf gm2-harness-0.93.tar.gz
cd gm2-harness-0.93
./configure --with-gdb --prefix=$HOME/opt
make
make install



best wishes,
Gaius
