For both SPARC/Linux and SPARC/Solaris I'm able to build the fpcsrc 
stuff without GDB. In both cases I can build the entire installation 
bundle, again without GDB.

For SPARC/Linux I can build fpcsrc with GDB_V607 which is the version of 
the library I've been using for many years. I've not tried this yet with 
SPARC/Solaris.

When I try to build the entire installation with GDB support I get

..
        Linking bin/sparc-linux/fp
The installer encountered the following error:

I also tried

GDB_V607=1 install/makepack

Unless anybody (Martin?) has any suggestions, I propose to focus on 
building SPARC/Linux and SPARC/Solaris installation bundles without- for 
the moment at least- GDB, in the interest of making something available 
as quickly as possible.
