I looked into FPC sources, and since 44-50 character area was something I was hitting, I
think I will play around in /compiler/compsrc.pp

Here is some suspicious evidence I found:

  s:=target_res.rescmd;
  ...

  try
   if ExecuteProcess(resbin,s) <> 0 then
   begin
     Message(exec_e_error_while_linking);
     aktglobalswitches:=aktglobalswitches+[cs_link_extern];
   end;

And TResInfo is defined as follows:

     tresinfo = record
        id      : tres;
        resbin  : string[8];
        rescmd  : string[50];
     end;
