The fpcmake problem is taken care of since the last time as I replaced 
my 2.6.0 fpcmake by the one from the Android branch.
Also I replaced the linker with the BFD one from the beginning. Also I 
tried the 4.4.3 and the 4.6 binutils. The only difference (after adding 
"-Cfsse3 -Cppentium3") is now that I'm doing this on Windows. I'll retry 
this at the weekend on Linux. What puzzles me though is the "File format 
not recognized" when the linker tries to open the "pp.o" file...
