Unfortunately, mantis is seldom updated when changes are merged back

it's become too much work (and it's also much more work to figure out
this information afterwards compared to immediately updating mantis
after merging, since in the latter case you don't have to look up
whether something was merged back and if so, in which revision).
Thanks Jonas. Below are SPARC-specific issues that I'm aware of, this is
for the benefit of anybody from the Solaris/OpenIndiana communities and
I'm most definitely not trying to criticise project management.
0020072: Floating-point register allocation for doubles [Noted by Marco
as being backported.]
0020397: Variant returns wrong Int64 value on SPARC. [Marked as fixed in
2.7.1, don't see any problem in 2.6.0.]
0020153: Bus error when compiling trunk (18976) on SPARC etc. [Ditto.]
Practical experience suggests that Lazarus 1.0 + FPC 2.6.0 is OK (the
program that showed up the above appears to work as expected). Residual
issues:
0020396: Signed 32-bit multiplication raises an overflow exception if
result -ve [Still in 2.6.0 and 2.6.1. OK in 2.7.1.] For the time being,
don't use -Co or the equivalent Lazarus project setting.
0020240: Arithmetic exception when compiling fp+gdb on SPARC [Possible
duplicate of 0020265: Compiler crashes with SIGFPE, which is marked as
fixed in 2.7.1 but might still be a problem in 2.6.0.] For the time
being, don't use the FP IDE's libgdb interface.
