:-) The compiler etc. should be OK, the thing to really watch out for- 
particularly on Solaris- is which variant of binutils is being used 
(ditto for tar etc., particularly during installation).


There's a Solaris page on the Wiki which is probably still relevant:

http://wiki.lazarus.freepascal.org/Lazarus_on_Solaris

As Pierre had to remind me, the -Xn issue is still significant.

  You should now be able to download 3.0.2 sparc-solaris and 
sparc-linuxinstallation tar files by following the links starting at:

https://www.freepascal.org/download.var
  If you encounter any problems, to download the files or toinstall the new 
3.0.2 sparc compiler, please let us know!

Thanks Mark!


All credit to the core developers who've generally made this project a 
success, and my apologies for bothering them over the years with what's 
admittedly a fairly obscure platform by now.


I think it's worth keeping alive if possible though, because its 
insistence on fairly strict alignment etc. is useful for showing up 
potential problems.


Lazarus should compile on both Linux and Solaris, subject to one known 
bug when invoking help https://mantis.freepascal.org/view.php?id=22696

  I committed the patch below,
which basically restricts your change to native compilation.

Not even that. This one looks relatively obvious to me ;)

I've filed a bug as  for 
reference.

Good. Most mass merging now have been done. Some dots-on-i and a rereading
of various threads for unmerged requests still have to be done.

hmm, I don't get the lineinfo on x86-64 (Ubuntu 16.04/Mate, 64-Bit).
armel and armhf are affected too.


Please test with the fixes branches.


I tested yesterdays fixes branch and it worked for me now.
