[M3devel] m3cc build fails on older MacOS X

[Jay]

well, I agree and disagree.

"Almost everyone" only cares about C++, C#, Windows, and a little bit of Linux and Java.
"Almost nobody" cares about Modula-3, Mac, PowerPC, Unix, Linux, etc.

Supporting 10.2 and 10.3 "ought not" be so difficult, but ok.

I wiped out the install and won't likely come back to it until
a bunch of other things are done.
e.g.:
 debug 64 bit hosted cm3cg 
 move PPC_LINUX to pthreads 
 high dpi 
 bring up or backup a bunch of targets I have hardware for,
  and some others I don't have yet.

Adding back support for NT4/Win9x probably not hard, though
 similar with gcc on Mac, the current Microsoft tools no longer
 target them.

It all gets easier with virtualization..
(Which is easiest on x86/amd64.)
