Hi,

When I build the latest fpc 1.0.7 rpm under redhat 7.3, install it and compile something, the compiler gives me always the hints:

syslinux.pp(5,1) Hint: Conditional I386 was set at startup in last
compilation of syslinux.pp
linux.pp(6,13) Hint: Conditional I386 was set at startup in last compilation
of linux.pp
math.pp(6,13) Hint: Conditional I386 was set at startup in last compilation
of math.pp

How can I get rid of them?

thx in advance,
Mattias

Is this missing in samplecfg or is there another way to get rid of them?

No, there is no other way. The origin of this hint comes from the fact that if you compile a unit with a certain define at one time, and then compiler another unit or program that uses this unit without using this specific define, you may have accidentally forgotten to specify it. In this case, the define is used to compile the system unit and since the system unit is used by all other units and programs you compile, you get the hint.

This is obviously not a good situation, but I think we discussed this a while ago (internally) and came to the conclusion that this hint should not be shown for units compiled in "release" mode (-Ur), such as the system unit. This is definitely not implemented in 1.0.6, but I don't know whether it's already done for 1.0.7 or 1.1

Adding -di386 in fpc.cfg is not possible since i386 is not the only architecture anymore.

Pierre Muller added the code that does this checking of conditional directive, but he is on holiday for a week.
