I decided to copy all the necessary files for x86.pp and oldlinux.pp

failed due to syntax errors. A bunch of warnings also appeared. I
post only the syntax error messages:
You appear to be compiling for x86_64 (please mention your full build
configuration in the future, until now I thought your were working on
i386). The reason that we do not ship a compiled version of the
oldlinux unit for x86_64 is that it simply does not work on 64 bit
platforms. Hence all the errors you are getting when trying to compile
it anyway.
Yes, I tried to compiling missed units for x86_64.
The next release of FPC will include a version of the x86 unit for
Linux/x86_64. In general, if a unit is not available in a precompiled
version for your platform, the reason is that it does not work. Unless
you intend to fix/rewrite that unit for your platform, trying to force
the compiler to compile it anyway will not help you.
This means, you deliver these units for documentation purposes only, I
guess. Now I am waiting für your next release, and I am really curious
to look at your new code for x86 on x86_64 platforms.
Best regards, Holger
