I'm currently working on `fp-compiler`. From `fpc(1)`:
Options concerning files and directories
-exxx tells the compiler that xxx is the directory where it can find
the executables as (the assembler) and ld (the linker).
-FD same as -e.
(Of course, actually making it actually usable will require
fp-units-$triple packages too).
It's kind of similar to the justification for
/usr/lib/{compat,gold}-ld too - I remember when `-fuse-ld={gold,bfd}`
didn't exist yet but I wanted to test both ways so I had to use `gcc
-B`.
