Here are the symptoms. I try to compile a simple Pascal program (see
attach). When it's name is lowercase (say temp.pas) it compiles fine:
$ gpc temp.pas
temp.pas:0: warning: missing program header
but when I change it to uppercase (TEMP.PAS) I get internal compiler error:
$ mv temp.pas TEMP.PAS
$ gpc TEMP.PAS
gpc: Internal GPC problem: internal option `--amtmpfile' not given

Users familiar with BP, please note that you have to give the file
name extension `.pas': GPC is a common interface for a Pascal compiler,
a C, ObjC and C++ compiler, an assembler, a linker, and perhaps an Ada
and a FORTRAN compiler. From the extension of your source file GPC
figures out which compiler to run. GPC recognizes Pascal sources by the
extension `.pas', `.p', `.pp' or `.dpr'. GPC also accepts source files
in other languages (e.g., `.c' for C) and calls the appropriate
compilers for them. Files with the extension `.o' or without any special
recognized extension are considered to be object files or libraries to
be linked.
Note that it is case-sensitive about the extension. TEMP.pas works fine.
If you want to use upper-case names, GPC won't recognize them automatically
as pascal source files, but you can precede them on the command-line with the
-x option in order to specify the language manually:
$ gpc TEM.PAS
gpc: Internal GPC problem: internal option `--amtmpfile' not given
$ gpc -x Pascal TEM.PAS
TEM.PAS:0: warning: missing program header
This behaviour should be the same on Linux, although I haven't checked.
cheers,
