This is Alt_R, right?

For this line, you need 'keycode 54 = c C ccircumflex Ccircumflex' otherwise 
you lose the lowercase 'c'.

I don't do any of these modkey changes, just the two lines above, and it works 
fine in xev, and if I use something other than ccircumflex. I don't see that 
as a keysym in any of the files in symbols/. What language is that used for?

Try using `xev` to see what the keysyms are when pressing the keys.

Do `xmodmap -pk > outfile` on both machines and do a diff. That will show you 
your differences.
