[fpc-devel] slightly misleading fpc makefile hint

In recent binutils the program "pwd.exe" (it returns current directory name) is omitted.

But makefile fails with a hint "You need GNU utils package..." (well, it does not explicitly write, that it needs binutils).

Why don't emit "You need GNU utils package... (pwd.exe)"?

(PWD.EXE and some versions of needed utils are supplied with FPC releases.)

Also, it is good candidate to be mentioned in excellent "buildfaq.pdf" by Marco van de Voort.
