GNU Modula-2 has reached version 1.0 some time ago. The compiler can
be built after commenting out a few lines in string.h - I learned
this from the following message:
http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2008-06/msg00368.html
By the way, another message documents that the problem is there for
years now.

The mails are from 2008, and the problem they are refering to has been
fixed for quite some time now. The definition of strsignal in string.h
is correct and aligned to the POSIX definition. It's the same as on
Linux, too. If that results in a problem building GNU Modula-2, it's a
problem in GNU Modula-2.
And since you wrote "after commenting out a *few* lines", it's probably
not this problem at all. I'm sure with a few more details (error
messages, which lines exactly you commented out, stuff like that) your
problem became clearer.
