Just tested on ARM (ARMHF, with FPC trunk), Laz trunk. Noticed Martin's
fix that still allows compilation on ARM.
Compiling the IDE went ok.
Starting it showed an error dialog:
The package EditorMacroScript (pascalscript macros) has detected a
problem and was deactivated.
The package failed its selftest with the message "Failed getstr2 [Expr:
"456" / Got: "abc"]".

I wonder whether disabling the package on ARM CPUs as well as other non
x86/x64 CPUs would be a good solution?
