Good point.  However, it doesn't apply in this particular case.  As I
recall, the person reporting the problem was using the cvsup-bin port,
which has a binary that I built myself without any of those options.
In any case, it's not easy to figure out how to add such options when
building a Modula-3 program. :-)
