The next release of FPC will include a version of the x86 unit for
Linux/x86_64. In general, if a unit is not available in a
precompiled version for your platform, the reason is that it does
not work. Unless you intend to fix/rewrite that unit for your
platform, trying to force the compiler to compile it anyway will
not help you.
This means, you deliver these units for documentation purposes only,
No, it means that the x86 unit is only supported on i386 in FPC 2.2.4
(we do install a compiled version of that unit when installing the
i386 compiler).
And regarding your later remark about FPC only being usable as root:
it's the Linux kernel that only allows direct port access by root.
Please stop blaming every single one of your problems on the compiler
or the RTL.
