There's too much in your e-mail to respond to Jay, so I'll just make a  
simple historical observation: SOLgnu was originally intended as a  
Solaris target where there was no availability of Sun's cc (Sun did  
not bundle cc with the OS at the time -- they wanted you to buy it!).   
However, the rest of the Solaris toolchain has always been bundled  
with the OS.  Thus, with gcc the easiest free option as a replacement  
for cc, SOLgnu meant folks could use Modula-3 without having to buy  
Sun's cc.
