I presume that ld from Xcode 2.0 is slightly too old, and that that

Install Xcode 2.5, its linker should support that option. For
instructions on how to get it:

Thanks for that Jonas, I'll use it as a fallback position but am
already making slow progress using -st etc.
All FPC Darwin/PPC versions from the past years have only been tested
with the Xcode 2.5 tools and hence are also only supported with that
version. You may encounter other issues by sticking with an outdated
version. No changes will be made to FPC to accomodate for them either,
because an upgrade path to a newer version with fixed bugs and required
features is readily available (so there is no reason to complicate the
compiler to support the older versions as well).
Understood, wasn't asking you to. If I can limp along with pre-2.5 on
OSX 10.4, I might try putting a newer one on 10.5.
