[fpc-devel] Compiling for libgdb, and using make -j on larger SPARC systems

[Pierre Free Pascal]

  Hi Mark,

this is one of the problems with fpmake, sometimes we seems to loose
the output of the calls to the assembler or the linker :(

  Could you try to run make inside ide directory
and add -Xd option to OPT?
Does this solve your problem?

I get the same kind of error on i386-linux system because 
the compiler chooses  a system library for libreadline.a
instead of the one that is in GDBLIBDIR...
