The only one I've used that supports that is the University of Wisconsin
Pascal compiler which runs on Univac 1100 series mainframes.  It's a very
nice implementation of the language with extensions for externals (unusual
in a mainframe implementation) and a Modula-2 like set of extensions for
libraries.  The principal author at UW was Charles Fischer(sp?).  By the
way, it also has extensions for strings and other useful things.
