Hi

May I ask why do we need a CONFIG_OABI_COMPAT=y in the kernel to for fpc to work on arm-linux?

The fpc target for eabi is called 'armel', the 'arm' target compiles for oabi.

    Well, this is off topic, but ARM is quite a bit backwards
    compatible. All ARM versions are backwards compatible(if we ignore
    thumb, which fpc doesn't support anyway) :)

                I'm quite sure that FPC's ASM can compile hex constants
                (using "DC" ???)


            that is not the point. You don't wont to bother with (error
            prone) hex constants, but want to use the regular assembler
            mnemonics.


        quite right! especially with a processor like the ARM, where it
        keeps, er.., improving its instruction set between each
        generation of hardware!
