[fpc-pascal] Linking issue in Ubuntu 9.04 (32 bit)

[Alan Krause]

Jonas,

It does indeed ship with 2.19.1. I've had this same problem in the past, and
have had to stick with ubuntu 8.04 for my development box due to this
problem.

Prince - if you execute fpc with the verbose option (-va), it actually
displays the search for a linker to use, which in my instance is found in
/usr/bin/ld and listed as "found".
