[fpc-devel] Annoying error when building compiler on i386-win32

[J. Gareth Moreton]

Hi everyone,

I have a slightly annoying error when building the compiler for 
i386-win32.  I mentioned it to Sven a while ago, and the cause is due to 
the fact that my copy of common.dll is 64-bit, not 32-bit (as Sven 
confirmed for me).

Compiling .\oracle\src\oraoci.pp
oraoci.pp(1437) Error: Invalid DLL C:\WINDOWS\system32\common.dll, 
invalid header size
oraoci.pp(1437) Fatal: There were 1 errors compiling module, stopping
Fatal: Compilation aborted

Simply commenting out "{$linklib common}" on line 19 of the above file 
fixes the problem.  I would like to propose that this error be changed 
to a warning, since apparently not having the library present doesn't 
cause issues for compilation, just possibly execution later on.

Gareth aka. Kit
