Sorry for the delayed response, yes, we in upstream are willing to fix the

issue, although we run regular tests with QEMU, and those are looking

good. So not sure what could cause that build problem, but we're also

mostly doing cross-builds with m68k, not native builds.

I know I promised to look into this, but never really had time in the last

few weeks, sorry about it. It turned out, our SVN trunk was broken for

Linux-m68k, so I fixed that meanwhile, but FPC 3.2.0 was forked earlier to

that breakage, so if there's an issue it must be different. I'll get

there, meanwhile but of course any input is welcome.

I looked deeper in the issue and it seems that it may be a bug in the initial compiler /usr/bin/ppc68k which is used to bootstrap the cycle.

This compiler is of version 3.0.4+dfsg-23.

So a possible way to overcome this is to perform a binary upload to m68k. However I was not able to generate packages by cross compilation.
