Pascal and Modula2

Does anyone have any thoughts about building in Pascal and Modula2 into the gcc package?

According to the website, GNU Modula 2 is currently stuck with GCC 3.3.4 while the current GCC in arch is 3.4.3...

So, until they catch up with the latest gcc developments, it would be a hell of a lot of work to do..

Basically, one would have to do the work of the whole GNU Modula 2 team to make a package vor arch -current and keep in sync with the progress the official modula sources are making.

Too much work to bother, I would say: Wait until they have caught up with gcc development so you can include it into an existing gcc PKGBUILD..

This was my thinking too.

Nice to see it confirmed by someone else.

I now have free pascal installed, and will look for a non gnu modula2 to poke about with.

Thanks for the heads up though.
