Thanks Marco, I'd missed -XP since I was mistakenly looking at the -A
section.
For information, it works, but I'm getting an error when it calls the
linker. If I link using a script it's fine:
1. IIRC FPC uses a builtin list of paths and -FD paths
2. The shell might use its own $PATH.
Solution, pass -FD or CROSSBINDIR (or something, search in makefile)
I'd not expect this to be a path problem since I've symlinked the
assemblers into /usr/local/bin which is where ppc386 is, -vt output says
that it's finding the binary and using an explicit -FD doesn't have an
obvious effect.
I don't believe that this is a path problem since the assembler pass
works, but I can make it fail by specifying the -a parameter:
$ fpc -XPi486-linux- -a test.pas

test.pas(4,26) Fatal: There were 3 errors compiling module, stopping
Fatal: Compilation aborted
Error: /usr/local/bin/ppc386 returned an error exitcode (normal if you
did not specify a source file to be compiled)
So it appears to be something to do with how the compiler communicates
with as or ld.
This was on an IA-64 system using its hardware emulation of x86. I think
there's a potential that this could also occur on an x86-64 system, but
I don't have one to test it on.
