[fpc-devel] Testing FPC on PPC Mac

[Pierre Free Pascal]

 Hi Mark,

  you should use -s option
for compilation.
  This will generate a ppas.sh script
that contains the call to the linker.

  Maybe removing this command line option will be enough 
to fix linking.

  I hope you will be able to generate a recent 
Free Pascal Complier on your machine!
