Rebuilding the Modula-3 libraries wouldn't help, because they are
written in Modula-3 and don't include C header files.  It would
require actual changes to the Modula-3 sources to deal with this.

The changes to ucontext have broken the ability to run old binaries,
which historically has been considered unacceptable in the FreeBSD
project.
