[fpc-pascal] FPC on ARM (eg Zaurus)

Hi,

I am trying to cross-compile a program a bit more
complicated than Hello World and I have the following problem.

ppcarm uses the wrong libraries because it uses some default lib paths
first before it uses the library paths added with -Fl

eg:

ppcarm -Sd -XParm-linux- -k'-z nodefaultlib'  -vt -Fl/opt/Embedix/tools/arm-linux/lib* -Fl/opt/Embedix/tools/lib/gcc-lib/arm-linux/2.95.2 test_dl.pas

gives error:
/usr/lib/crti.o: could not read symbols: File in wrong format

which is true,  /opt/Embedix/tools/arm-linux/lib/crti.o should be used

the -vt options tells me that /usr/lib is searched first.

Using library path: /lib/
Using library path: /usr/lib/
Using library path: /usr/X11R6/lib/
Using library path: /opt/Embedix/tools/arm-linux/lib/
.... etc ...

With  -k'-z nodefaultlib' i tried in vain to omit searching for default libraries

============================
So, how can I tell ppcarm not to use /usr/lib ?
============================

When fiddling with LD_LIBRARY_PATH, I found out that 
the compiler programs ofcourse cannot cope with a library path to arm libs.


kind regards,
Den Jean
