I'm setting off a trial compilation of 2.6.0 hosted on ARM Debian 
"Squeeze", which will take a few hours. If that is OK then I'll try 
Lazarus 0.9.31 plus your patches- I'm not sure that it's appropriate to 
go straight to trunk for this but if anybody is confident that a 
particular revision is robust please say and I'll use this in preference.
