It's been merged to 2.2.3 now. You can either download the source  
zipfile from ftp://ftp.freepascal.org/pub/fpc/snapshot/v22/source/fpc.zip 
, or get it from svn as described here: http://www.freepascal.org/develop.var#svn 
  (make sure you use the checkout url mentioned in the "Fixes to  
2.2.x" section).

I don't think most users would appreciate it if that were the main way  
to debug program crashes :)
