I would strongly recommend to do a simple
{$ifdef ver0_99_14}
...
{$else}
...
{$endif}

Wouldn't this solve the problem?

Did we find a resolution for the syslinux problem? When you make cycle it crashes on the assembly instruction inside of ResetFPU. What are we supposed to do to get around it?

Do the following steps:
1) Comment out the code inside resetfpu
2) Make cycle, and install the compiler.
3) Reinstate resetfpu.
4) Make cycle again.
5) Install.

You can shorten the time this takes by replacing step 2 with a single make of the compiler and using this newly compiled compiler to do the make cycle of step 4. It's what I did:

1) edit ../rtl/linux/syslinux.pp
2) make clean all
3) edit ../rtl/linux/syslinux.pp
4) make cycle PP=/home/michael/fpc/compiler/ppc386
5) su -c 'make install rtlinstall'

Michael.

Did we find a resolution for the syslinux problem? When you make cycle
it crashes on the assembly instruction inside of ResetFPU.

What are we supposed to do to get around it?
