[fpc-pascal] fpc can't compile project because a directory exists

[Graeme Geldenhuys]

Hi,

I just tried to compile a test.pp file inside my /tmp directory. FPC
complained because there existed a /tmp/test/ directory!!

Is this a normal or known limitation of FPC? Or does the blame fall onto
the ld linker?
