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.

fpc 2.6.2-5 has a FTBFS bug that it is not applied 
the patch of adding a manual for powerpc64 
by not listed in debian/patches/series file.

So, I reopened Bug#716813 at 2013-07-25.
Do you know it?

And I think that no manual bug for PowerPC64 should be report 
to "Free Pascal team", because they say that fpc targets
PowerPC64.
