This commit addresses linking failures on FreeBSD for Modula-2 programs that use specific math intrinsics like csin[l], ccos[l], and ctan[l]. It introduces a new tool, mktargetsrc, which generates target-specific Modula-2 libraries, pruning missing intrinsics at compile time rather than failing at link time. Additionally, a new -fdump-builtins flag is added to aid mktargetsrc in processing built-in functions. The changes improve the build process and error handling for Modula-2 development on various platforms.
