I suppose that concluding from this that FPC is bug-free would be one step too far ;-) Michael. ___ fpc-devel maillist - fpc-devel@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-devel

Re: [fpc-devel] fpc fails to link against libc on some architectures due to multiarch

Is there a standard for multiarch library path locations and names? If not, that sounds like configuration option that should be added by distribution-specific patches. At least when looking at tool chains I've seen everything from 'arm-unknown-eabi" to 'arm-linux-eabi' to 'arm-linux-gnueabi'. That kind of variation is not something we can or should build into the compiler or in the standard configuration files.
