[fpc-pascal] error building FPC trunk under 64-bit FreeBSD

[Graeme Geldenhuys]

Hi,

I got the latest FPC Trunk (r28199 at the time of writing). It's a
completely new checkout, so there are no *.ppu or *.o etc files around.
I have a fully working release version of FPC 2.6.4.

I started the build of FPC Trunk using 'gmake build'.... It compiled and
counted to 100%, then started building something else starting 0% again.
I got up to 26% (as shown below), and then failed with a linking error.

Any thoughts or suggestions?

I haven't built FPC Trunk in probably a year, so not sure if I missed
out some (newly added) steps.
