Sorry, bad assumption, it's not the compiler.  Fpcmake adds all the
entries in /etc/ld.so.conf, which gets added in turn to -Fl option(s).
 The problem is that the entries in /etc/ld.so.conf may contain
wildcards.  Using $(wildcard $var) won't work if the entry doesn't
contain a pattern, though, so each entry will have to be checked for
wildcards.
