Hello,
I was thrilled to see two different powerpc64 precompiled binaries in this folder:

https://downloads.freepascal.org/fpc/beta/3.2.4-rc1/powerpc64-linux/

One is named
fpc-3.2.4-rc1.powerpc64-linux.tar
and the other
fpc-3.2.4-rc1.powerpc64-linux-big-endian.tar

But both contain the same big endian binaries.

Is it possible for somebody to create a little endian release?

For a few years now, I have not been able to compile for ppc64le because of some kernel change. I know the fix is in 3.2.4, but I don't think I can compile it myself.

FPCUpDeluxe could use a separate ppc64le target and binary as well ;=)

Cheers,
Tobias

Can I also suggest an x86-32 tarball, as I'm tracking an apparent inaccuracy in the 64-bit math library not present in the 32-bit version, which gives the same results as the equivalent C version of the same code.

It's still present in the 3.2.4-rc1 64-bit release but I haven't been able to verify its absence in the 32-bit build and see no README on how to build it in the source directory
downloads.freepascal.org/fpc/beta/3.2.4-rc1/source just two tarballs fpc-* and fpcbuild-*
Presumably fpcbuild is a build system for fpc but a small README or pointer to instructions would be welcome.

Keep up the good work!
