Sorry for not being clear about that.  This is my first step into the embedded
world and I was trying to stay as close to the documented GCC process
as possible until I understand enough to choose otherwise.  I much prefer the
FPC build mechanism to editing makefiles so I would prefer to use that if I 
can.

I didn't know about -sh, that would be very useful in this context!

OK, I'll give that a try as well.

Thanks again,
