[Lazarus] Lazarus on Debian "Wheezy"

[Mark Morgan Lloyd]

This is a "heads up" for anybody looking at Wheezy, particularly on 
non-x86 systems.

Lazarus on the SPARC port is badly broken, in ways that I don't see on 
older versions of Debian (Etch, Lenny). I don't think this is anything 
to do with Debian's adoption of multi-arch, instead there's something 
fundamentally broken with their X implementation.

I'm pretty sure that this is not an FPC/Lazarus problem. I mention it 
not because I'm complaining, but because there's a possibility that 
other platforms could be affected: for example PPC or MIPS if it's an 
endianness issue, or some ARMs if it's something to do with alignment.
