Important caveat: it compiles trunk on a Qemu-emulated system as 
described at http://wiki.lazarus.freepascal.org/Qemu_and_other_emulators 
However this being the case, such a system should be a good starting 
point if somebody then needed to progress to e.g. different FP support.

I routinely build enough for my own use using the contents of 
fpcbuild/fpcsrc, would that be adequate (and how do I do the final 
packaging stage) and whither should I upload it?
