This is understood :-)

But fpcres just writes all messages to standard error/output (the console).
To my knowledge, the compiler doesn't do anything with that.

Like I said, to my knowledge the compiler doesn't do anything with the
output of the tools it uses. not 'as', not 'ld', and also not fpcres...

Are you doing this on windows or on linux ? 
Can you provide a small test program, so I can test ?
