[Pkg-pascal-devel] Bug#826300: Share knowledge on fpc and powerpc issue

[Gianfranco Costamagna]

control: reopen -1
ok, after digging into the issue I did:
create a jessie-backport chroot for building
create a sid chroot for testing fpcmkcfg- binaries
(it crashes just by running the tool with no parameters).

Interesting findings:
fpcmkcfg-2.6.4 is *not* failing in neither Jessie, nor Sid.

So, this lead me to the conclusion that the problem was inside fpcmkcfg.pp file
(a regression)

for this, I copied the file from 2.6.4 over the one from 3.0.0, and I did a rebuild.

the resulting fpcmkcfg-3.0.0 runs correctly on Stretch, so with the new glib.

Something in the code broke glib, even if I don't know what.

I'm attaching a run of the 2.6.4 from sid (file: log-old) and a run of 3.0.0 from sid (file: log)
and the patch of the "revert".

the files are on partch.debian.org.
(there isn't a complete build because of the "opengl missing file" complains)
