My version (0.9.30.1) does have a option for build modes, but the -WG
fall under the "Linking" settings. I'll have to figure out how build
modes work in Lazarus first.

OK, I'll update my Lazarus then, because currently it doesn't do that in
0.9.30.x

+1  What is the point of 'cross-platform support' then? Letting the
compiler simply ignore parameters that ain't relevant for the target
seems a rather simple solution - at it worked like that for years.
Except now.


Thanks for the info Felipe.
