Just FYI, enabling the code for the default build is one of the last
things to happen, not one of the first.

- gdb's language code isn't modula
There isn't a clean way of dropping in new languages (like many things,
a developer got half way through the process, and then stopped. It has
then remained in that state for ~10 years. A --with-languages=... isn't
there.

- this specific code came from [very old] a fork.
As such it needs sigificant work before it gets integrated into GDB.
Adam has been doing a briliant job. What's in GDB is noticably
different to what was in Apple's fork.
