Which Modula-3 did you make? Was it SRC or Cambridge or some other
implementation? :-)
Anyway, about glibc2 support, I just spotted the following message in
comp.lang.modula3:
=============================================================================
Tue, 06 Jan 1998 07:47:59 comp.lang.modula3 Thread 4 of 10
Lines 25 Preliminary glibc2 support for Cambridge Modula-3
Richard Watts <rrw1000@cus.cam.ac.uk> at epona (really rrw1000.sel.cam.ac.uk),
Preliminary glibc2 support is now available for Cambridge Modula-3.
It can be obtained from:
ftp://epona.ucam.org/pub/users/rrw/software/cam3-glibc2-patches/
These patches haven't been widely tested as yet, so be careful.
Many thanks to Rajat Datta <rajat@ix.netcom.com> and
Michel Dagenais <dagenais@vlsi.polymtl.ca>. This is a fairly
straightforward port, so other distributions should find it
reasonably easy to apply (it's mainly template hacking).
Anyone with a previous version of these patches is encouraged to
upgrade - older versions had a bad declaration of struct_tm which caused
tetris (among other things) to segfault. This version should be
fixed - I've been over all the files in
m3core/src/unix/linux-libc6.
Please report the inevitable errors to Richard.Watts@cl.cam.ac.uk.
Richard.

If you are still busy, and if you don't mind, could you send me the Debian
diff files? I would like to give it a shot to build the Cambridge
Modula-3 and see how it works. :-) Thanks! (And thanks for packaging up
Modula-3 for Debian! It must have been a lot of work! :-)
Cheers,
Anthony
