It seems copying from LHelp carries some unwanted luggage (some odd invisible characters). Thanks and sorry for the noise. However I encountered this issue while trying to help Bo Berglund in his Lazarus mailing list thread. I will post a related specific question in a new fpc thread as not to mix things here.

So best is to tell something about that installation. - I tried to link manually using the fpc produced link.res and got the same error. - I removed the section INPUT(-l c) from link.res and linked manually (adding -lc as an option): /usr/bin/ld -b elf32-i386 -m elf_i386 --dynamic-linker=/lib/ld-linux.so.2 -L. -lc -o program1 link.res Success! I changed the following part in link.res: INPUT( -l c ) to INPUT( -lc ) and manual linking works! So the issue is fpc producing link.res with a -l c instead of -lc. Which program specifically produces link.res? Note: Newer ld built from source produces the same results.

But this can't be a problem that always occurs, because otherwise make all would fail too as fpmake by default also links to libc.
