[fpc-devel] How to move this, but in FPC 32bit?

[Ozz Nixon]

Thank you all ... I am on the road, when I get back, I will track down
TUnitHeader, TObjectTypeDefinition, TOrdinalTypeDefinition - and post those
structures. My problem was changing the above to simple:
   PreviousUnitAddressOffset:=TUnitHeader.PreviousUnitAddress;

does not work, I think they are constants - I will have to dig back through
the code. (It's from 1995, written by Anders Hejlsberg, so it does a lot of
odd ASM things).
