I'm looking into it now. Stay tuned. I managed to reproduce your linker
problem already, at least. :)

Err, those are invoked directly from the Makefile, not invoked from inside
FPC. But you're right, that will be also a problem... Some platforms still
use asm-written startup stubs in FPC. Not all of them tho'. I think these
days these startup codes could be written in Pascal anyway, but for Sparc
they're not.
