Thanks, I believe I already do use -XR, here is entire compilation line:

/opt/cross/br/arm/armv7a/6.2.0.v6/usr/lib/fpc/3.2.0/ppcrossarm -O3 -CX -XX -Xs -veibq -vw-n-h- -MDelphiUnicode -Sg -Sc  
-XS -Tlinux -dCPU_ARM -Parm -CaEABIHF -XR/opt/cross/br/arm/armv7a/6.2.0.v6/usr/arm-javad-linux-gnueabihf/sysroot        
-XP/opt/cross/br/arm/armv7a/6.2.0.v6/usr/bin/arm-javad-linux-gnueabihf-                                                 
-k-T/opt/cross/br/arm/armv7a/6.2.0.v6/usr/lib/ldscripts/armelf_linux_eabi.x                                             
-Fu/opt/cross/br/arm/armv7a/6.2.0.v6/usr/lib/fpc/3.2.0/units/arm-linux/*

-Fu./generics.collections-master/src -Fu./lazutils -dJXT_PRCNTG -dJXTDB -dJXT_LNX -dJXT_RTPK -dCONSOLE

./src/mkCGGTTS.pas

and still I get all those warnings. Something's wrong with my command-line options?

Thanks,
