The lcl compiles now on powerpc, however, the examples crash:

Any clues?

I've problems with cdecl functions too (though it works under FreeBSD).

Maybe I'm blind, but try this, you might have something reproducable:

1. update linux.
2. make cycle OPT='-dFPC_USE_LIBC -al'
(the -al is only for codegen checking)

This fails when ppc1 has to compile system.pp

3. fire up gdb with ppc1
4. run till the line fileeof:=eof(f) in finput.pas
5. start stepping till you get to the fstat line.
6. note that the parameter is clear (3)
7. Now trace into fstat-> the parameter is suddenly negative.
8. on access stack destroyed. (this is probably because stat is different size on glibc compared to kernel, I'll look into that tomorrow, too tired now)

/me should write msgs that late:_)
