[Dave Parsons]

I sent this yesterday but it still hasn't shown up here yet
so I'll try again. Apologies if anyone receives it twice.

Well, I found and tried the files from here:-
 ftp://ftp.freepascal.org/pub/fpc/snapshot/v22/i386-os2

and now have another problem:-
< a couple of hundred similar lines cut >
..\..\rtl\units\os2\system.s:1075: Error: no such 386 instruction: `movups'
..\..\rtl\units\os2\system.s:1975: Error: no such 386 instruction: `ldmxcsr'
..\..\rtl\units\os2\system.s:2022: Error: no such 386 instruction: `movaps'
..\..\rtl\units\os2\system.s:4418: Error: no such 386 instruction: `ldmxcsr'
..\..\rtl\units\os2\system.s:4429: Error: no such 386 instruction: `stmxcsr'
system.pas(1208) Error: Error while assembling exitcode 1

So far I've tried regenerating the makefiles and changing fpc.cfg but
no change. I noticed a difference in the -O options but it seems to
ignore any changes I make in fpc.cfg, or they are overridden later.
For 2.0.4 I have -OG2p3 but with 2.2.1 I have only -O2.

Any ideas?
