There is no need anymore to start with ppcx64 now that there is a native 
ppca64 in the latest FPC release (3.2.2). So you can start directly with 
your step 3 (removing the "FPC=$PWD/ppca64" so it uses the globally 
installed ppca64). If you do that, it works.

I can reproduce the issue when following your steps. My best guess is 
that one of the new x86 optimisations is breaking things when 
cross-compiling the native AArch64 compiler.
