Rebuilding the Modula-3 libraries wouldn't help, because they are written in Modula-3 and don't include C header files. It would require actual changes to the Modula-3 sources to deal with this. The changes to ucontext have broken the ability to run old binaries, which historically has been considered unacceptable in the FreeBSD project. John -- John Polstra John D. Polstra & Co., Inc.
