--gc-sectiosn will not help. FPC does not generate .o files with multiple sections for linux.
Smartlinking for linux will create libp*.a files instead. You need to link with the libp*.a
instead of the *.o files.

It can't be written down what is required for your program to link manual. But you can compile
with -s to generate a link.res and ppas.sh to see the commands that are use by fpc for linking.
