Aah, thanks Sven.  Useful information.  I see that FPC 3.2.0 only has a couple of issues left on the roadmap.  I hope 3.3.1 won't be too soon after that, since that is when all my optimisation improvements start to appear!

Hi everyone,

I'm not sure if this counts as a bug or not, or if it is, if it's worth fixing.  When I attempt to bootstrap the compiler with OPT="-a" to dump the assembler files (I have my reasons!), it fails when building the fcl-pdf package on sharepoint.pp - it gives the error: "C:\lazarus64\fpc\3.0.4\bin\x86_64-win64\as.exe: unrecognized option `-mbig-obj'"

Any way to address this?

3.0.4 is shipped with Binutils of version 2.22, however for the big obj support at least binutils 2.25 is required. The upcoming 3.2.0 release will contain 2.28. To update them yourselves you can retrieve them from the fpcbuild repository (important ones are as.exe and ld.exe): - for Win64: https://svn.freepascal.org/cgi-bin/viewvc.cgi/trunk/install/binw64/?root=fpcbuild - for Win32: https://svn.freepascal.org/cgi-bin/viewvc.cgi/trunk/install/binw32/?root=fpcbuild

Regards,
Sven
