Because of the feeling with which most developers insist that 2.6.0 is

OK, I'll try it for MIPS in a couple of days. I presume you were using
Lazarus trunk.
Lazarus trunk (r39158) builds OK with 2.7.1 as described in the wiki
(noting the fairly strict requirement for binutils version etc.),
although I note warnings like
/usr/bin/ld: /usr/lib/crti.o: warning: linking abicalls files with
non-abicalls files
on the major programs (lazbuild, lazarus). Lazarus build time (i.e.
excluding the compiler/RTL/FCL) was about 20 hours, emphasising the
limitations of Qemu.
IDE startup showed the splash and configuration dialogue, after that it
appeared to lock up taking minimal CPU, final messages were
SearchDebuggerCandidates Value=gdb File=/usr/bin/gdb
NOTE: help options config file not found - using defaults
TApplication.HandleException Access violation
Stack trace:
$01630294 TINDEXCURSOR__VARIANTTOBUFFER, line 168 of
./fcl-db/src/dbase/dbf_idxcur.pas
[TMainIDE.Destroy] A
[TMainIDE.Destroy] B -> inherited Destroy... TMainIDE
[TMainIDE.Destroy] END
until I killed it with a ^C. Restarting resulted in an IDE which
approximately ran, but was raising that exception every few seconds. It
wasn't possible to "OK" past this, it would recur and either this or
something else appeared to be messing up e.g. the IDE's ability to
store/access ~/.lazarus configuration settings: because of this lazbuild
wasn't able to build a trivial test project prepared on a different system.
Redoing with a simple make all still resulted in approximately similar
behaviour, but without a reported error line etc.
Unless somebody knows that that revision had issues, I think that some
more of the compiler's residual code generation issues need to be wrung
out before trying Lazarus again.
