I'm trying to put some more time into this. I've got to the point where 
building the RTL complains with 'Selected assembler reader not 
supported' which I suspect is because there isn't an racpugas.pas unit 
in the compiler. Could somebody please kick me ASAP if this isn't the case.

As a general question (or possibly this is a feature request), should 
fpc -i  report the available assembler formats? How about also the svn 
revision number if available?
