No, that isn't a bug, -FD isn't mandatory. It just allows specifying a
concrete installation of as and ld regardless of the PATH setting. That's
also why I asked about it - if fp.cfg had a reference to another directory
while fpc used just PATH based search, it could be a reason of the
different behaviour.

Is there any difference between ppas.cmd created by fp.exe and fpc.exe if
you add option -s to compilation from both? Any difference between
link.res file created in the two cases? Do you see any error messages from
the linker when running it from ppas.cmd created by fp.exe for compilation
with -s?
