There is a slow, buggy, but usable Modula-2 compiler that runs on the AT&T
3B2s with SysV Unix.  It is public domain, but it has been a problem
getting the source for the parser/code generator.  The distribution I
received does have the source for the libraries, though.

I ported a Modula-2 compiler to the Unix PCs that we are now using in
our undergraduate courses.  It generates COFF output that is linked by
good ol' "ld".  The binary of the compiler is public domain, as is the
source for the libraries.  It is a one-pass compiler based on the ETH
MC68K one-pass compiler.  Contact me if you are interested in either one.
