[fpc-devel] fpc 2.6.2 gives AV on arm

[Joost van der Sluis]

Hi all,

I've cross-compiled a ppcarm, and now I try to use that compiler on qemu 
to build fpc (2.6.2).

But the compiler crashes on compiling the system-unit. But with trunk 
(2.7.1) this all works.

Thing is that I'm trying to get fpc 2.6.2 working on the new arm-target 
of Fedora (armv7, hardware float, little endian). Maybe someone knows in 
which revision this could have been fixed, so that I can apply that fix 
to 2.6.2 on Fedora?

Here's the stacktrace:
