Hmm. I can't test it now, because Lazarus doesn't even link at all at
the moment.

But in my experience, if linking fails or succeeds is more something I
would call 'luck', than anything logical. ;(

I think it also has something to do with the debug-information. One of
my theories is that when you have compiled Lazarus with a rtl with
debuginformation, and thereafter the debuginformation is removed from
the rtl, you have to make clean and recompile Lazarus completely.
 
And the same holds for parts of the fcl and such.

But this theory fails on me as Lazarus is not linking now at all...
Maybe an old .ppu somewhere which is not cleaned properly...
