Yes it would be very nice,libgdb missing for IDE is really not a big deal...
Please let me know how you can send me the files.
For reasons I'd prefer not to discuss, I can't easily get access to e.g.
Dropbox so am limited to email, FTP, or something similarly "old
school". If you want to continue this off-list I suggest using the email
address in my sig below, since it's less likely to have messages deleted
as spam.
On Linux we're talking about something like:
53780480 2017-04-07 09:20 fpc-3.0.2.sparc-linux.tar
I need to revisit the Solaris build. Checking, I see that I can make
fpcsrc without too much trouble using something like
gmake NOGDB=1 OPT='-V3.0.0 -O- -gl -Xn -vt' all
but the full build is giving me a linking error.
Following Pierre's instructions I'm using
CHECKLIBGDB=no install/makepack
which is eventually failing with
/usr/local/src/fpc/fpcbuild-3.0.2/fpcsrc/compiler$
/usr/local/bin/ppcsparc -Ur -Xs -O2 -n -Fusparc -Fusystems
-Fu/usr/local/src/fpc/fpcbuild-3.0.2/fpcsrc/rtl/units/sparc-solaris
-Fisparc -FE. -FUsparc/units/sparc-solaris -dRELEASE -dsparc -dGDB
-dBROWSERLOG -Sew pp.pas
/usr/bin/gld:built in linker script:21: syntax error
pp.pas(238,36) Error: Error while linking
pp.pas(238,36) Fatal: There were 1 errors compiling module, stopping
Fatal: Compilation aborted
I'm pretty sure I've come across this one before and that the cause is
something like the wrong linker being invoked by the makefile, leave it
with me so I can go through my notes.
I'll be back ;-)

I don't know what the future of SPARC is going to be like, and whether
the attempts that are being made to get 64-bit SPARC Linux working will
make it any rosier.
