No, it's not per system, but per package/program. Suppose there are libraries A and B which both export symbol X. One program needs symbol X from library A, and another one from library B, but both need both libraries A and B for other symbols.

You then simply cannot assign a weight to A and B so that it works correctly in all cases.

I always thought that fpc supports a.x and b.x for differenciating them,

That's for units, not for libraries.

P.S. From freepascal.com/advantage.html; Is this still true??

"Each unit has it's own identifiers In Pascal you never need to worry about polluting the namespace, like in C where an identifier needs to be unique accross the entire program. No, in Pascal each unit gets it's own namespace and that's very relaxed."

Yes.
