- If we would like to have it fixed in FPC 3.0.0 for powerpc64, the
necessary changes are in

  1.
http://svn.freepascal.org/cgi-bin/viewvc.cgi?view=revision&revision=32671 .
This is a merge from trunk, with many stuff combined together --- but
the important for us trunk change is small, it is in
http://svn.freepascal.org/cgi-bin/viewvc.cgi?view=revision&revision=32528 .

  2, and then
http://svn.freepascal.org/cgi-bin/viewvc.cgi?view=revision&revision=33046 .

  The question is are you interested in patching FPC like that in
Debian, to have CGE working on powerpc64? Or do you prefer to just wait
for next FPC release, like 3.0.2, and package it for Debian as usual.

- These fixes don't apply to 32-bit powerpc, they are only for
powerpc64. I'll see tomorrow can the problem be reproduced on powerpc
with the same testcase, and if so -> it will just warrant another
bugreport. It's probably a similar bug on powerpc, but in a different file.
