The Modula-2 library build process (libgm2) has been updated to accurately detect the Python version. It now uses a new ax_python_interpreter.m4 macro to ensure Python 3.0 or later is present, which is required for the mktargetsrc.py script. If an older Python version is found, certain library functionalities are reduced.
