Here is a summarize so far: When the compiler is started in a directory with a symlink, the directory is resolved and used for error messages and debug info. All other directories are not resolved. If you want fpc to use only unresolved paths, you can start fpc in a directory without sources. But this requires adapting all relative paths, which can not be done automatically in general.
GetCurrentDir always returns the resolved physical file name.
