That is only passed to codetools, not for the compiler.
I'm pretty sure in the past it contained that hint.
This option was added as a workaround years ago, when the IDE was not able to
find source files in the default fpc.cfg unit paths. I will remove this atavism.

This page is ancient (0.9.12) and even then it was incomplete.

Synapse does not provide a Lazarus package (.lpk file). So it is a little
unusual:
 
Download synapse39.zip, extract it to some folder <F>, add <F>/source/lib to
either


Project / Project Options / Compiler Options / Paths / Other Unit files

OR

/etc/fpc.cfg
After editing fpc.cfg click on Tools / Rescan FPC source directory.
