Just an update, I can build tomboy-ng fine on ppc64le using the current FPC and Lazarus direct from the FPC.
I have pushed a new release of tomboy-ng up to my sponsor, Philipp and it has pie hardening turned off for ppc64le, something I found necessary and believe is worthy of further investigation. I have not tested using Sid/Bookworm Debian FPC and Lazarus as they are in somewhat of a state of flux at present so, because of that, and the PIE issue, will leave this ticket open for now.

You can get by without lhelp but perhaps it needs to attention. I have not tried using the Lazarus IDE (ie in GUI mode) in this iteration. Hard work over qemu .... Davo
