Pass -Fl/that/directory to fpc.

The linker got as parameter -lgcc, which means "link with library gcc".

Libraries are commonly prefixed with "lib", and static libraries end in .a
-> libgcc.a

The library libgcc itself is the deepest level of a C language runtime. It
handles things like 64-bit numbers etc.
