- I tried to link manually using the fpc produced link.res and got the 
same error.

- I removed the section INPUT(-l c) from link.res and linked manually 
(adding -lc as an option):
/usr/bin/ld -b elf32-i386 -m elf_i386 
--dynamic-linker=/lib/ld-linux.so.2 -L. -lc -o program1 link.res
Success!

I changed the following part in link.res:
INPUT(
-l c
)
to
INPUT(
-lc
)
and manual linking works!

So the issue is fpc producing link.res with a -l c instead of -lc. Which 
program specifically produces link.res?

Note: Newer ld built from source produces the same results.
