I had a look at [5] and it has the following error message.
/<<PKGBUILDDIR>>/components/doublecmd/dcosutils.pas(65,60) Error: (4001) Incompatible types: got "LongInt" expected "LongWord"
/<<PKGBUILDDIR>>/components/doublecmd/dcosutils.pas(296,1) Fatal: (10026) There were 1 errors compiling module, stopping

This is similar to a previous error that was fixed
in fe7dc89513c247b0d4135d8b0b896b145b1ce1ee.
Other programs fail due to other issue like non visible fields, which are real
programming issues.

I would try to fix these one by one, and let's start by doublecmd. One thing to
try is to remove the following lines from the patch:
+    {$ELSEIF DEFINED(CPUMIPS)}
+      LongInt

The we can try to see if it helps building or if another issue is triggered.
Unfortunately I don't have time to proceed to such a debug session, but would do
if I manage to have time.
