New CVSup static binaries for Linux glibc2

I've posted new static binaries for cvsup and cvsupd, built from the
sources labeled as version 15.5-linux, on the Postgres web site at:
 ftp://postgresql.org/pub/CVSup/

For reference, I built using the commands

make M3TARGET=LINUXLIBC6 M3FLAGS="-D_pm3 -DSTATIC -DNOGUI"
make M3TARGET=LINUXLIBC6 M3FLAGS="-D_pm3 -DSTATIC -DNOGUI" install

To do the static linking, I had to make one more change in prog.quake. I
was recalling using "build_standalone()", but my installation of pm3
seemed to instead want

if defined("STATIC") option("standalone","T")
end

(this replaces the last three lines of the original prog.quake).

These binaries were build on a RedHat-5.1 system running glibc-2.07. The
versioning for m3build leaves something to be desired:

[root@mythos]# m3build -version
m3build: SRC Modula-3 version XX.X

But all of the RPMs in the PM3 distribution are versioned with file name
labels of "1.1.10-1". Usually the last "-1" is an RPM-specific internal
version field, so "1.1.10" may be the right thing to specify.

I'll try building and posting new static binaries for my libc5 machine
at home, probably using my existing SRC m3 compiler.

Thanks again for a great utility!

For those who care, there is an RPM distribution of Modula-3 which is
*much* easier to work with than the original from-source distribution.
It can be found at
 ftp://m3.polymtl.ca/pub/m3/index.html

It has a bazillion separate RPMs, but if you fetch them into a single
directory and then do "rpm -Uvh *" you will get everything you need and
more.
