OK, I finally figured out the problem. My *.cfg files had one line in
them listing all the compiler parameters one after the other.

Lazarus or FPC never listed any problems with that, as the compiler
output below shows.  It also (silently) never used any of the options
in the *.cfg file. But as soon as I change my *.cfg files to list one
parameter per line, then it compiles correctly.

So the problem actually sits with FPC. To highlight this problem, I
simply need to modify my *.cfg files to have multiple lines, but make
of the the lines contain more than one compiler parameter. Instantly
FPC fails to compile the project, but having them all on one line it
doesn't.

Thanks for helping me narrow down the issue.  I'll report this bug in
Mantis, FPC project.
