Thank you!

Now I do:
   {$linklib ippcoremt.lib}
   function ippGetLibVersion: PIppLibraryVersion; extdecl; external name 
'_ippGetLibVersion';
But I get error:
   ipp.pas(467,0) Error: Invalid DLL .\Intel_IPP\ippcoremt.lib, Dos 
Header invalid

objdump for "ippcoremt.lib" shows that format is: pe-i386

When I try another:
   {$link .\Intel_IPP\ippcoremt.lib}
   function ippGetLibVersion: PIppLibraryVersion; extdecl; external name 
'_ippGetLibVersion';
Then I get another error:
   test_IPP.lpr(24,1) Error: Illegal COFF Magic while reading 
.\Intel_IPP\ippcoremt.lib

Am I doing something wrong, or there is some kind of incompatibility 
between format of supplied libraries and object files supported by FPC ?
(I am on FPC 2.6.4 , is there chance when I will use 3.0.2 that 
something changes in this?)
