we can not compile the CEF3 package

Original Reporter info from Mantis: stevewright

Description:

We can not compile the CEF3 package (version 3.3029.1).
The compiler produces an error: cef3ref.pas(1577,1) Error: Local variables size exceeds supported limit.

Steps to reproduce:

Use fpcupdeluxe (i386-win32) to install Lazarus version 2.1.0, with FPC version 3.3.1 (SVN 59585M)

Download FPCEF3 (version 3.3029.1) and try to install in Lazarus by selecting cef3.lpk in the "Package/Open Package File" menu then select compile......

The compile fails with error: cef3ref.pas(1577,1) Error: Local variables size exceeds supported limit.

The code snippet this error points to is .......
procedure TCefBrowserHostRef.ImeSetComposition(const Atext:ustring; underlinesCount: TSize; underlines: TCefCompositionUnderlineArray; const 
replacementRange, selectionRange: TCefRange);
Var
 t: TCefString;
(line 1577:)  begin
 t := CefString(Atext);
 PCefBrowserHost(fData)^.ime_set_composition(fData, @t,underlinesCount,@underlines,@replacementRange, @selectionRange);
end;

Additional information:

Internet search suggests that this may require an earlier version of FPC (3.0.2 ??) to compile successfully (https://github.com/dliw/fpCEF3/issues/55).
