To clarify: that only affects iOS. Plain Mac OS X compilation works  
fine with Xcode 4 (better than with Xcode 3 in fact, since the linker  
bug mentioned at e.g. http://www.freepascal.org/down/i386/macosx-ftp.freepascal.org.var 
  under "Mac OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard) compatibility" has been fixed).

As for iOS, see the attached messages.
