[fpc-pascal] Distributing unit object files

[Andrew Brunner]

I'm needing to figure out how best to "close" or "seal" units so that
I can use the compiled unit object files instead of the actual unit
files.

The problem is that the compiled unit files call a few units that the
project has the source to.  And FPC is looking to recompile the
compiled object file because a CRC has changed for a contributing unit
that was used when the unit object file was created.

How do I make FPC not rebuild the unit object file when contributing
units to the compiled unit have been modified? What is the best
strategy - if at all?
