Done. Very small test in attachment to you check if your FPC version
supports COFF objects.

The attached package has the file .a, it was built with:

$ gcc -c foo.c -o libfoo.o
$ ar rcs libfoo.a libfoo.o

Now, just open the list.lpr, it may compile and run properly. The test just
prints "bar" at console.
