 We have placed the first release candidate of the Free Pascal
 Compiler version 3.2.2 on our ftp servers.
 
 You can help improve the upcoming 3.2.2 release by downloading and
 testing this release. If you want you can report what you have done
 here: http://wiki.freepascal.org/Testers_3.2.2 or in the maillist.

-Oodeadstore is not really reliable yet.___

Great, thanks. Testing ongoing.

I'm seeing frequent Access Violations when running programs of any
complexity that have been compiled with "-B -O- -Oodfa,deadstore"...
but this seems to have been happening already in 3.2.0, so not a
regression. I don't see a bug for this yet, so I'll try to come up with
a minimal reproducible. We'll need to warn users about this if it can't
be fixed for 3.2.2.

Those are regression tests, so test against the results of the latest releases.

Test step 11 is "Run testsuite". The last time we were testing a relese
candidate, the test suite had a small number of failures, but to a
casual tester it was not clear what to do about it; which tests are
expected to be failing, which are dealbreakers, etc. Should the test
step offer more detail on how to react to or report test suite results?
