Me neither, but it's been like that ever since I upgrade to Mojave, that
these libs and objects are no longer in /usr/lib on my system. I used
Sierra on the same machine before, and that worked, then I updated to
Mojave and some then-recent XCode/command line utilities in one go
(without reinstall), and then the files were gone, I had to add this extra
argument to my FPC builds, otherwise things just didn't work.

But as I don't really develop native software on my Mac, only use to
crosscompile various versions of FPC, I never investigated further, it was
goon enough for me.
