Check where gcc.a is located and try to find out (by checking the passed
options / directories), why it is found when building fpcsrc but not when
doing the whole package? Possibly pass the respective -Fl to the build
process explicitly (depending on the used options, fpcsrc building might
use a reference in fpc.cfg)?
