[fpc-pascal] using static linking of dylib in mac 10.5

[Guru Kathiresan]

Hi,
Thanks for the reply. That seems to work, but I think there is a bug in the
FPC. When I do a {$linklib myfile.dylib} , it is not picking up the
myfile.dylib, the compiler is looking for libmyfile.so . I had to rename the
library from myfile.dylib to libmyfile.so .
