Thank you for checking! We use the fpc compiler from Ubuntu 24.04 in all
our CI machines, which is at version 3.2.2. It's the latest version
according to the fpc website¹ (even though there's a 3.2.3 tag in the
repository).
The problem is actually that on armv8l-linux the -g option defaults to
stabs, even though on aarch64-linux and x86_64-linux it defaults to
DWARF. I opened an issue upstream about it².
FWIW, if I hard-code fpc_compile in the GDB testsuite to use -gw to
generate DWARF, then I get these results on armv8l-linux, which are the
same as the ones on aarch64-linux and x86_64-linux:
=== gdb Summary ===
# of expected passes 169
# of known failures 1
