   I narrowed it down to the following minimal program:

--- Schnipp On ---
program test;

var
   AString: String;

function AFunction: String;
var
   S: WideString;

begin
   S := 'Test';
   AFunction := S;
end;

begin
   AString := AFunction;
end.
--- Schnipp Off ---

Compiled with a fresh install of FPC 2.6.4 with the command line

   fpc -Twince -Parm test.pas

runs without any problem on the old hardware (Cortex-A8) but produces a 
runtime error 216 on the new hardware (Cortex-A5).
   This code follows SysUtils.GetLocalStr, called by 
SysUtils.GetFormatSettings. The error doesn't occur if S is defined as 
String instead WideString or if I do it without the function call.

Regards,
   Björn
