Compile the program with -Cn.

Then supply the users with all .o files referenced from the generated  
link.res file (including those from the rtl/flc/packages/...), as well  
as with the link.res file itself and the generated ppas.sh/ppas.bat  
file.

Or, as Tomas mentioned, you can also use the LGPL code as a shared  
library. In that case the linking is done by the dynamic linker, and  
you don't have to distribute the parts of your program as linkable  
components.
