Well, might be true and might be not. Namely, I've done as suggested in
appropriate document and things do not work for me. Up to date, nobody
has told me what exactly have I doen wrong. I am in talks with Olaf
(Wagner) on the private and event the suggestions from him are not quite
explicit - except for the StrongARM was not tried yet.

I've folowed a little outdated document and Olaf promised to update it a
litle bit. Yet, the proposals from him did not work. I have successfully
built the backend for StrongARM cross-compiler. I have succesfully
rebuilt the m3core and libm3 as well as m3front and other compiler stuff
*for x86* yet with the needed StrongARM stuff included in various places
all over the code. But resulting&installed system failed to produce any
of the StrongARm code, beginning from the m3core and m3lib up to the
applications. And I hae focused only on the producing of the assembly
source code.

If it was only for Unicode, I would not bother (for now).

p.s. : Please, Dragisa, contact me on the iztok dot kobal at siol dot
net. I am quite eager to find out where, the hell, Modula-2 is still
wanted/in use in this days of mighty C# !
