I can't seem to build the latest FPC 3.3.1 'main' branch under 64-bit linux.
My build script, which I've always been using:
-----
cat go.sh
#!/bin/sh
TARGET_VER=3.3.1
TARGET=x86_64-linux
COMPILER=/data/devel/fpc-3.2.2/$TARGET/bin/ppcx64
#COMPILER=/usr/bin/fpc
cd src
make clean
make all FPC=$COMPILER OPT="-Fl/usr/local/lib"
make install INSTALL_PREFIX=/data/devel/fpc-$TARGET_VER/$TARGET FPC=/data/devel/fpc-$TARGET_VER/src/compiler/ppcx64 -----

Simplify overflow checks in heap.inc.

And when I try and build using my script, it crashes out with this error:
