[fpc-pascal] Linker Error: what does this mean?

[Gerhard Scholz]

Hello,

thanks for the hint with the -Xe parameter (the external linker is damned 
slow!), now it compiles.

The difference in the object file size seems to be the different amount of 
stored debug information; the declared structures have the same size 
(SIZEOF(...) is the same.

Thanks for the help.

Greetings

Gerhard
