[fpc-pascal] CThreads problem when cross-compiling to ARM/RPi.

[Bruce Tulloch]

Okay, so I'm not trying to link statically, not intentionally anyway.

Here's the command line from ppas.sh that produces this error:

/usr/local/opt/binutils/bin/arm-linux-ld \
--sysroot=/usr/local/opt/chroot/raspbian/rootfs \
--dynamic-linker=/lib/ld-linux-armhf.so.3 \
-s -L. -o arm-test-threads link.res

and the dynamic linker referred to is:

root at beria:/lib# file ld-linux-armhf.so.3
ld-linux-armhf.so.3: symbolic link to `arm-linux-gnueabihf/ld-2.13.so'
root at beria:/lib# file arm-linux-gnueabihf/ld-2.13.so
arm-linux-gnueabihf/ld-2.13.so: ELF 32-bit LSB shared object, ARM, version
1 (SYSV), dynamically linked,
BuildID[sha1]=0x40caad061df15685e213cec1e4dfe1ba5f67701c, stripped

Any clues? -b
