Hi Matthias,
many thanks for the analysis. I've now:
* removed all gnu pth code and rewritten the coroutine libraries to
use libgcc/gthr.h.
* removed all Univ Ulm libraries
* changed all remaining library code to use GPL3+ gcc runtime
extensions
* checked all compiler code is GPL3
(on the master branch of gm2)
[I've still working on the testsuite]
regards,
Gaius
