Just thought i'd keep you informed.

I uploaded with my changes and your changes. I also had to make a couple 
of follow uploads to deal with a couple of small but build-breaking 
issues, i'll try and get those follow up uploads into svn soon.

Unfortunately I wasn't quick enough with the uploads and the chroots on 
the sparc buildd were updated to the new binutils (which makes versions 
of the fpc package prior to 2.6.2-3 uninstallable) before I managed to 
get the new upload in. This will mean a manual build on sparc is needed. 
Unfortunately the sparc porterbox seems to be out of disc space at the 
moment and requests in #debian-sparc for someone to build it manually 
went unanswered. I'm currently looking into qemu and if that fails I 
will look into if  a sparc box I had remote access to ages ago can be 
made available again. I want to get this into testing ASAP to minimise 
the chance of problems for any derivatives that pull from testing.

powerpc64 will also need manual building for the same reason. Since it 
is not an official architecture I don't plan to do that building, ccing 
the guy who filed the most recent ppc64 bug report to inform him of this.
