Now, if you want to patchthe compiler for this, or simply wire additional options to the packagesupplied fpc.cfg with the right paths and options, that decision is notmine to make. I'm not the Linux maintainer, and even less of a SPARCmaintainer. :)

I'm happy enough to test on the OSes etc. that I've got set up here.

Is it /just/ that command line? Is this going via Mantis?

Whatever, good work everybody. It's a public holiday in the UK- it is in 
Berlin as well or is the flurry of work just a coincidence?
