What else could case the diff?
Maybe the linker? But if the user has (at least as I understand it) both 
setups on the same pc, I would expect the same linker to be used? 
Different arguments when calling the linker?

I don't do much work on Mac myself.  All I have is the report on the forum.

But if he reported right, then both his IDE fail with 3.3.1.

I can't currently double check his report. Because if he got his testing 
wrong, then Fpdebug has changes by Joost for Linux and Win, how it 
handle relocation in dwarf....
