[fpc-pascal] System call ABI problem on ppc Linux

[tobiasgiesen at gmail.com]

Hi,
I will check it but the app really runs fine now after changing only FpFtruncate, and 
also FppRead and FppWrite (which nobody seems to use anyway). These are the 
occurrences of {$ifdef FPC_ABI_EABI}.

I think the only problem is with fpmake, which doesn't include FPC_ABI_EABI for
powerpc 32-bit processors.

My use case is running my software on a Synology DS-413 NAS, which has a PowerPC
processor. It's only a few years old. Nowadays they use only Intel and ARM.

For old times' sake I will also release it for Mac OS / ppc.

Cheers,
Tobias
