I've been posting about this problem on the Lazarus forum:
http://forum.lazarus.freepascal.org/index.php?topic=23927.new#new

A good friend of mine (who uses Debian) looked things up and found this:
https://lists.debian.org/debian-arm/2007/03/msg00097.html

Is that maybe why the *standard* 2.6.0 ppcarm is getting SIGILL when it 
shouldn't?  If so, does 2.6.4 or 3.0.0 or 3.0.2 correct this problem?
