Are you sure that you rebuilt the compiler completely after your change
and that you invoked the right (newly built) version while testing the
performed change? Do you call 'fpc', or 'ppcsparc' while testing it (the
former may result in calling a previously installed version of ppcsparc
rather than the newly built one)?

Apart from trying various -v levels (at least -vl comes to mind to see the
compiler build date, -vt showing the used paths including the one of the
compiler, or even -va showing all the details) to check what's going on,
you can see the passed options if calling the compiler with parameter -s.
