[fpc-pascal] Absolute ($FFFFF034)

[Carsten Bager]

Hi
W are using the compiler on an embedded Arm7 platform (no  
operating system). Now we have run into this problem. 
We want to define an absolute address, to a specific register.
It seems that, if the absolut address exceeding $FFFFF000 then we 
get the error.



OK 	Compiling goes OK.
