 This is due to {$LINKLIB C} - that one is mostly for *nix platforms. 
There's no support for OS/2 in the delivered interface units, because 
there's nobody to work on it and test it. Basically, you should only 
need to add an IFDEF around this line and use cdecl for all imported 
functions if it's missing somewhere.

 You should probably compile with debug info and try debugging it 
using PMGDB (distributed with FPC). That should help you to locate 
the problem.
