No, the nogui widgetset does not pull in any GUI libs. 
For example lazbuild under linux:
        linux-vdso.so.1
        libc.so.6
        /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2

Under OS X it uses iconv and carbon framework. This is not passed to
the compiler as command line parameters, so it must be something in the
OS X units.

I guess something similar happens on BSD.

Is there a tool to see what ppu drags what libraries?
Maybe I will add this feature to the ppu list.

A fpcanvas solution would be useful.
