Jonas will comment on that.
Not sure what "immature" means, granted, I don't know anything aboutSPARC, but
from what I see, FPC definitely handles SPARC as a 32bit onlyarchitecture now. All the
definitions in fpcdefs.inc hardwires CPUsettings as 32bit, it doesn't seem to know about
a 64bit ALU,sparc/cpubase has only sizes defined as 32bit, etc.
And I can't see a separate SVN branch for 64bit either. So I'd say it'ssimply "not
there"?
I /thought/ that there used to be something, and that I'd discussed it
briefly some while ago with Jonas. After all, we're probably the last
people to still have a (small) number of desktop systems, and it seems
to be me who's caused most of the hassle about the architecture over the
years :-)
I notice that Jonas commented recently
