I will be just guessing because you haven't supplied any information about the program which you try to link, but I would suspect that you might have tried to link an externally created object file (u_unidat.o? - possibly just renamed from u_unidat.obj as previously used with VirtualPascal?) and it has object file format not supported by our linker. If this assumption is correct, you might need to re- create the object file in the right format supported by FPC and/or the GNU linker.
