[fpc-pascal] Runetime errors

[David Emerson]

Put into your fpc.cfg file:

-gl

to generate the line numbers (that's the really relevant one, right?) It will also say what procedure it's inside, as well as a backtrace of calling procedures, and their line numbers.

You can also find in fpc.cfg a number of other flags to generate debugging info.

I don't know if it's possible to generate a line like "the number -4 is not between 0 and 3000" ... although that would be kind of nice, come to think of it.
