[fpc-devel] Question about building fpc for linux_x86 vs linux_x64

rtl-objpas should come as dep of fcl-base.

I am not familar at all with fpmake design - if "fcl-base" depends on 
"rtl-objpas" - does it mean that "rtl-objpas" dependency is exported - 
i.e. -Fu to "rtl-objpas" will be added if only "fcl-base" dependency is 
added in fpmake.pp?

I had to add dependency to rtl-objpas in several fpmake instances - even 
though fcl-base was already there :(
