'strace' is not available/supported by 64-bit FreeBSD (only 32-bit
FreeBSD). But I did remember that FPC has a very verbose output option.
Amazingly that -v parameter did make FPC output more details - so at
least FPC does seem to read my -v options (at least some of them).

Here is a very small snippet of what I got from using the -vav parameter.

...snip...
[0.000] Macro defined: CPUAMD64
[0.000] Macro defined: CPU64
[0.000] Configfile search: /home/graemeg/.fpc.cfg
[0.000] Reading options from file /home/graemeg/.fpc.cfg
[0.000] Start of reading config file /home/graemeg/.fpc.cfg
[0.000] interpreting file option "#"
[0.000] interpreting file option "# Example fpc.cfg for Free Pascal
Compiler"
...snip...

That is the only config file it found and loaded. That config file
contains a -v- option, but even removing that option completely makes no
difference.

Could this be a bug in the FreeBSD version of FPC? That some of the -v
options simply don't work under FreeBSD?

Could somebody else with FreeBSD access test the -v parameter? That way
we can confirm if it is something odd on my system (and I'll keep
searching), or a general FPC issue.

I never use that option inside units. But to made double sure, I just
did a search, and can confirm no such directive exists in any of the
source code I'm trying to compile.
