Hi, Frank,
Thanks for filing the bug reports.

firebird2.0 upstream currently supports only i386, amd64, powerpc
and sparc.

I am working with upstream on this, but the process is rather slow.
People that need firebird2.0 on unsupported architectures are
encouraged to contact me and/or upstream[1]. Debugging skills are an
advantage :)

Note that even if firebird2.0 *builds* on given architecture, there
still may be bugs, lock-ups and database corruptions. This is the
reason for all porting patches to be present only in experimental.

For example, ARM build has to use -O2 (instead of -O3) in order to
finish OK, but the resulting binaries act strange in some circumstances.
