[fpc-devel] GPM vs Debian warning messages

[Mark Morgan Lloyd]

Looking at http://www.freepascal.org/probs.var I see that FPC still has 
bug 0008416 open and marked "not fixable", but that it was fixed from 
the Debian side in February '08 (their 
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=412927).

Would it be appropriate for somebody to remove the startup warning when 
FP finds itself running on Debian? From the description the problem will 
only affect Debian "Sarge" or older, and when I tried a year or so ago 
it appeared that a current FP will not build for a distro of that age 
due to other library incompatibilities.
