Hi,

Since a few weeks, I have been unable to build the 2.7.1 cross compiler (from Linux 32 bit to Win32), while the 2.6.1 cross compiler builds merrily. My OS is Ubuntu 11.04 32 bits.

What could be wrong?

I forgot to mention that this is probably closely related to: http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.compilers.free-pascal.general/29222

I have fpc version 2.7.1 with CodeTyphon on Ubuntu 12.04 32 bit. The Windows cross compiler built without a problem.

I installed CodeTyphon because I was having trouble cross compiling for Android. Unfortunately this is not functional with the current stable version for Linux, but they report that they are working on it.
