Raspbian, which is armhf, yes.

The application is based on the hard-float ABI (just checked with
readelf -h). Still it is using the soft-float implementation at least
for round().

I came across this by debugging the application at assembly level and
saw the call of fpc_round_real(). I don't know very much about the ARM
instruction set. I reckon there's "round to integer" available but I
don't know in which version of the ARM specification, and if it's used
in FPC.

Also, I have to check if I accidentally activated the "-Ce" switch,
although I though I checked that...

In the end, as I was able to reproduce the error on Linux x86_64, I
though I'd better ask. Last time I dealt specifically with floating
point emulation was on DOS with Turbo Pascal :-)

Best,

Alex
