2021-08-22 Thread Christo Crause via fpc-devel
On Linux 64 bit the compiler defaults to using the internal assembler. When adding the -a command line option an external assembler is called. This is unexpected based on the description of the -a option. Specifying -Aelf (to force using the internal assembler) is also ignored when used with -a, w
