[fpc-devel] Building 2.7.1 on current Raspbian fails

[Thaddy de Koning]

At the moment, there is not a good, publicly available, starting 
compiler other than my unofficial builds.
The real starting compiler has never been public AFAIK.

Maybe the guy(s) or/and girl(s) who have done the original build for the 
Raspberry Pi can shed a light on that one...
