[fpc-devel] FPC Android crashes in Tegra CPUs

[Yury Sidorov]

Hi,

To find out an offending instruction it is needed to create a simple 
console app. Compile it with the -gl switch and run in the Android 
console. You will get a stack back trace. If the instruction in the RTL, 
it is needed to recompile it with the -O- -g switches.
