on sparc it fails in another file:

../.././xgpc -B../.././  -c -I. -W -Wall -Wpointer-arith -Wwrite-strings -Wmissing-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations -g -O3  -DRTS_RELEASE_STRING="'`cat /home/doko/2.95/gcc-2.95-2.95.4.ds7/src-native/gcc/p/rts/rts-version`'"  --unit-path=/home/doko/2.95/gcc-2.95-2.95.4.ds7/src-native/gcc/p/rts --automake `cat needed-options` /home/doko/2.95/gcc-2.95-2.95.4.ds7/src-native/gcc/p/rts/endian.pas
