Apologies for my poor threading here, but a message got lost in the spam 
trap.

You've not put in enough context, but I'd guess that it can't find the 
libgdb library for the fp IDE (which not many people use, and I think 
that you've successfully built the main fpc compiler etc). Try setting 
PP as before, then

make NOGDB=1 OPT='-O- -gl -Xs-' all
