<p>You should merely go to $fpcsrc/rtl and do "make clean all OPT=-gl". Your source should be of the same compiler version as the compiler you build with. Also if you use a unit (or a package) that depends on any of the recompiled units that will need to be recompiled as well. So for RTL I would suggest you to only copy the Serial unit as dependencies on that should be rather low. Additionally you won't be annoyed by having the debugger step all helper routines used by the compiler. </p>
<p>Note: the location "same as compiler" would be wrong. You need to copy the unit to the location where the "normal" serial.ppu and serial.o are stored (and you should make a backup of course). Normally thus should he something like /usr/lib/fpc/2.6.4/units/i386-linux/rtl or so...</p>

<p>In that case you should recompile the complete source (inside the $fpcsrc directory) with OPT=-gl and then you'll need to install the units to a different location (e.g. /usr/lib/2.6.4/units-dbg) and then adjust the fpc.cfg to use a different set of paths if you specify a special define on the command line (e.g. -dDEBUG_UNITS)</p>
