[fpc-pascal] Unit initialization in dll initialization for arm/WinCE

[kyan]

OK, I apologize. It seems that the problem lies elsewhere. The fact
that library initialization seems to be deferred until you do a
GetProcAddress() confused me. The problem is that function
GetModuleName() is stubbed out in WinCE (and Linux):

unit SysUtils.inc;

function GetModuleName(Module: HMODULE): string;
begin
{$ifdef MSWINDOWS}
  SetLength(Result,MAX_PATH);
  SetLength(Result,GetModuleFileName(Module, Pchar(Result),Length(Result)));
{$ELSE}
  Result:='';
{$ENDIF}
end;

The function GetModuleFileName() exists (although it is unicode) in
WinCE: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms908441.aspx

And from what I've found in the web a Linux implementation is possible
using dladdr().
