I am wondering about GNU Modula-2. The frontend is listed in the Cygwin 
Package List http://cygwin.com/packages/ but the corresponding directory 
is empty. Are there plans to add the package soon?

GNU Modula-2 has reached version 1.0 some time ago. The compiler can be 
built after commenting out a few lines in string.h - I learned this from 
the following message:

http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2008-06/msg00368.html

By the way, another message documents that the problem is there for 
years now.

http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2008-06/msg00369.html

The easy way to use GNU Modula-2 is to build a complete gcc from the 
source tarballs offered by the compilers developer. I'd be very happy to 
see the frontend as part of the Cygwin repositories.

Regards

Christoph Schlegel
