Could you be more specific?

I have never heard of such, I am just a long time user of Lazarus/Fpc but not in
the deep understanding of how it all works. I have always focused on my
applications and not how they were screwed together behind the scenes by Fpc...

Is there a setting to use something other than Fpc to link after compiling?
How is that done?
