[lazarus] cant find unit interfacebase

Explaination:

1.9.1 also uses 'as' and 'ld' for assembler and linker instead of 'asw'
and 'ldw'.

IOW: There is no difference anymore between targets wrt ppu file exenstion
and naming of the units.


Solution:

For make add "BINUTILSPREFIX=i686-pc-mingw32-" to the commandline.

For a stanalone compile (or from lazarus) add -XPi686-pc-mingw32- to the
commandline or add the following lines to fpc.cfg

#ifndef VER1_0
#ifdef WIN32
-XPi686-pc-mingw32-
#endif
#endif
