I've hacked a bit on the infrastructure, and after building our gcc
with Apple's gcc, I could rebuild it with itself then Pascal didn't
ICE building the RTS (figured that out before Adriaan's answer made
it to my INBOX, but thanks nonetheless). These are the results:

Snippets:

| TEST	fjf998q.pas:	OK
| TEST	fjf998r.pas:	failed: 
| TEST	fjf998s.pas:	OK

uh?

| TEST	mir047h.pas:	OK
| ./test_run: line 345: 10690 Bus error               ./"$A_OUT" "$1"
| TEST	mir048a.pas:	OK

Looks familiar - the same problem shows up on i386-ecce-mirbsd8.
May be a stack protector issue?

I think you already know this.

| TEST	systemtest.pas:	a.out(2075) malloc: *** vm_allocate(size=2147483648) failed (error code=3)
| a.out(2075) malloc: *** error: can't allocate region

No idea, I don't know anything about Macintoshes (that's
just a shell account I have at a friend's box).


I'll now look whether just doing a make bootstrap is enough
to circumvent the Apple GCC brokenness.
