[fpc-pascal] Compiling for SPARC

[Mark Morgan Lloyd]

OK, here's the current situation. Working on an SS-20 with Debian 3.1 "Sarge"
(kernel 2.4.27 SMP) I can do a "make cycle" but I can't do a "make zipinstall".

Specifically, make zipinstall grinds to a halt usually while processing
gtkglarea.pp, and sits there with ppcsparc taking around 6% CPU. I've run this
three times now leaving it for up to 20 hours, and in general it behaves the
same way.

There's a few more things I want to try at this end including moving to a
different machine in case it's some operating system peculiarity. Obviously
another thing I need to do is work through the development docs again and
experiment with other make targets.

Whatever, any suggestions as to how best to proceed would be welcome.
