 * Hmm.. The distribution file contains the sources for the Modula 2
 * library and the binary for the Modula 2 compiler. So the compiler
 * itself is not rebuilt in the port, only the library is. The compiler
 * however is linked against libgcc.so.261.0. AFAIK there is no
 * distribution file with a compiler linked against a current shared
 * library.

I see.

 * There is a distribution that contains the source of the compiler
 * as well, but that wouldn't help much, as you need a binary of the
 * compiler to bootstrap it.

Well, we can recompile the compiler binary from source and use that
for future bootstrapping.  Will that be too much work?
