[fpc-pascal] inline asm in fpc progran

[Nataraj S Narayan]

Hi Jonas


I tried a very elementary code  on arm-linux-uclibc, compiled using
"ppcrossarm -TLinux -darm ttt3.pas -CfSOFT  -XParm-linux- -XR/cdrom"

program kuraj;
begin
writeln('Hooua');
end.


The asm listing using -al is here: - http://pastebin.com/CG9i0x3z

It dont work in the normal EABI kernel but works on OABI compat one.

I got ppcrossarm using  :-
 gmake distclean crosszipinstall CPU_TARGET=arm OS_TARGET=linux
CROSSOPT='-CfSOFT -darm -dFPC-ARMEL -gl' FPC=/usr/local/lib/fpc/2.5.1/ppc386


warm regards

Nataraj
