You can find all fpc versions versions of the libgdb*.zips (they contain all the .a files needed) on the freepascal ftp site /contribs/libgdb/... The ones used for v2.0.4 were mostly v6.2.1 & probably for linux eg for windows IIRC. You have to unzip the appropriate libgdb into the appropriate di

You are right- in general the win32 version runs more slowly on win9x than the dos version. Dependent on the type of benchmarks the difference is up to 30%.
