Hi Jonas, thank you for your answer!
I cannot say if I did see a warning or not when installing fpc-package
but I did not reinstall commandline tools before or after installing the
3.2.0 compiler. They have been on all of my Macs for years.
What are you doing in the installer that creates that dependency?
My guess would be that you rewrite /etc/fpc.cfg (I think I saw on one of
my Macs that the timestamp of that file changed), but this will not help
for compiling the compiler as the compiler is beeing compiled with the
flag -n which effectively turns off reading /etc/fpc.cfg.
I made compilation work by adding an OPT parameter to the build:
make clean all OPT="-Fl$(xcrun --show-sdk-path)/usr/lib -Ff$(xcrun
--show-sdk-path)/System/Library/Frameworks"
or, without using $():
make clean all
OPT="-Fl/Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/SDKs/MacOSX.sdk/usr/lib
-Ff/Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/SDKs/MacOSX.sdk/System/Library/Frameworks"
So I guess the best solution would be to change the compiler Makefiles
to add the Fl/Ff parameter to the compile when on a Mac. I am currently
investigating this, what do you think, could that solve the issue once
and for all? (We have already had this kind of conversation several
times over the last years, usually on crt1.o
Fixing the Makefile will make this work for already existing compilers,
I'd still propose to add this path from within fpc, when the linker
commands are generated.
Or am I missing something ?
I am updating now my older Mac that is still on Catalina to latest
XCode, will be interesting to see how this computer behaves after the
update, with older xcode installed I can do 'make clean all' without any
issue...
I can also run my build command there, on this machine XCode is
installed so the Path to CommandlineTools points to some other place,
but things still seems to work fine.

That looks like you did not install the Xcode command line tools
*before* installing FPC. The installer should warn you about this if it
detects that is the case. Previous FPC versions refused to install at
all in this case, but I changed it into a warning because Apple kept
changing things that broke this detection. It should function correctly
on macOS 11.0/Big Sur though.
