(

just to keep the thread current, my current command line is:

fpc -va -XS -XX -O3 -So -Fu~/manndoor/units -Fu~/manndoor/units/elecom 
-Fu~/manndoor/units/unix lord.pas

)

Okay.. Running with -va.. The first time I run it, I get the following..

Searching file /usr/local/lib/fpc/2.0.0/ld... not found
...
Searching file /usr/bin/ld... found
Using util /usr/bin/ld
lord.pas(1841,1) Error: Can't call the linker, switching to external linking
Error: /usr/local/bin/ppc386 returned an error exitcode (normal if you 
did not specifiy a source file to be compiled)

But the second time I run it

Searching file /usr/local/lib/fpc/2.0.0/ld... not found
...
Searching file /usr/bin/ld... found
Using util /usr/bin/ld
1969 Lines compiled, 9.7 sec

I can then recompile, over and over, without issue..
