2.0.4 for the moment I'm afraid, since that's the one that I was reasonably 
certain I could get working. I'm currently looking at Lazarus for i386 and 
SPARC using the same compiler and sources in both cases, assuming that I can 
get somewhere with that I'll try to progress to 2.1.4.

Lazarus for SPARC has a bug that doesn't occur on i386, this is likely an 
endian issue but could possibly be a compiler bug.

All on Linux, I'm not in a position to check the situation with a (recent) 
Solaris.
