I don't think the GNU Modula-2 compiler was ever finished/released.
Last time I did Modula-2 was with Volition Systems' compiler for Apple
Pascal on a //e fifteen years ago.  Nowadays, Oberon looks like the
successful, minimalist, follow-up to Modula-2; but if you like
Wirth-style languages, then my money's on Modula-3 as an Ada-level
contender.
