[fpc-pascal] Compiling arm-embedded fpc

[Michael Ring]

I did a grep through the fpc sourcecode and found a reference in 
./compiler/systems/t_linux.pas in an arm related ifdef section

           add('  .note.gnu.build-id : { *(.note.gnu.build-id) }');

so perhaps this is really missing in arm-embedded target.


The patch for for fpc/compiler/systems/t_embed.pas seems to be pretty 
straightforward, I will create the patch and test if debugging still works.

by the way:

I used binutils-2.23.1 to create the cross-tools, configure script was:

./configure --target=arm-none-eabi --program-prefix=arm-embedded-

compiled under Fedora-18.
