I'm trying to build version 1.6 of Modula-3 with the following configuration: 
Sun 3, SunOS 4.1.1b, gcc 1.39.

It built fine with the native Sun C compiler, but won't build with gcc - the 
m3compiler crashes. I haven't had much luck with the debuggers either.

Has anyone ported 1.6 to use gcc on any architecture? Any suggestions about an 
architecture-specific thing that is so subtle it could differ between 
different compilers on the same machine?

My goal, incidentally, is to bring up Modula-3 under Apple's version of UNIX 
(A/UX) on our Mac II and IIcx machines.
