Exactly what I want to try and do, but it seems FPC is really stubborn
under FreeBSD. I tried the exact same -v parameters as you suggested,
but it made no difference. :-/

Here is my build script.

------------[ build-64.sh ]-----------------
#!/bin/sh
# Build script for tiOPF using 64bit Free Pascal Compiler
BASEDIR="/data/devel"
FPC="$BASEDIR/fpc-2.6.2/x86_64-freebsd/bin/ppcx64"
FPCVER=`$FPC -iV`
FPCCPU=`$FPC -iTP`
FPCHOST=`$FPC -iTO`
TIOPF="$BASEDIR/tiopf_dailybuilds/tiopf"
FBLIB="$TIOPF/3rdParty/FBLib"
ZEOS="$BASEDIR/opensource/zeos_svn"

$FPC -MObjFPC -S2cai -O1 -gl -vi-n-h- -B \

  -dLINK_FBL -dLINK_ZEOS_FB -dLINK_ZEOS_MYSQL50 \
  -dUseCThreads \
  $TIOPF/Compilers/FPC/tiOPF.pas

And this is the output it generates..... Lots of noise!
