[peter green]

Package: fpc
Version: 3.0.0+dfsg-3
Severity: serious

This seems to be a result of the recent pic related backports. I'm 
working on a fix now.

What I do find concerning is that some of the patches explicitly have 
i386 in their name, yet the build failure implies that the result of 
applying those patches was not tested on i386.
