Great.

Once the required code has been found. Abou requested help from upstream
to identify it.

Hmm, that also means we can lower the severity of this bug (no
regression) and have it migrate to testing, agreed? I would leave this
bug as important, but still have fpc 3 migrate to testing. Is anybody
objecting?

Proposal:
control: retitle -1 fpc can not build -fPIC with -O2 on arm*
control: severity -1 important
control: tags -1 fixed-upstream
