I thought that I could try compile same Modula 2 example under Arch Linux, but I see that Modula 2 
support is not yet configured:

I'm not willing to do full bootstrap of GCC-13 for that purpose

The problem was that unzipping large ZIP archive was extremely slow with LFN enabled and it failed 
at end or there were files missing (I do not remember exactly any more)

Testing of non-LFN install of gcc-13.2 and reporting results would be nice
