I realize this predates your patch (which merely changes version numbers), but a reference to back ends could be misunderstood. I assume GNU Modula-2 doesn't just use the back ends (x86, aarch64,...), but also the middle-end and tree optimizers etc.?

Thanks (and okay considering the above), Gerald
