No. Because of the Aldor public license (APL).
Once the sources have been distributed with the compiler.
Therefrom, I got hold of the sources.
However, therefore I got the sources under the APL.

If I'd send you a modified source code of the Aldor library, I'd  
distribute it. Therefore, according to the APL, I'd have to “grant  
Aldor.org a royalty-free license to use, modify or redistribute without  
limitation”.

Due to the “without limitation”, it would take away all rights from me,  
except that I can say “I wrote the code”.

I even cannot untar the archive and send you just the corresponding  
vanilla source file. Untarring is (maybe) a modification of their binary  
distribution. Therefore, I again had to “grant Aldor.org a royalty-free  
license to use, modify or redistribute without limitation” to the vanilla  
source file I distributed.

However, I cannot do that, because I am not legally entitled to grant  
anyone license to use, modify or redistribute without limitation. The  
„without limitation” causes problems, because I am not given the code  
without limitation.
It's a pain!

I'll tell you in a private mail, how you can legally get hold of the  
sources. Any other one wanting to see the sources of libaldor, should  
contact me via private mail.
