External Linking bug with Lazarus builds from fpcupdeluxe

[sollapse]

Compiling a trunk version of FPC and stable build of Lazarus with fpcupdeluxe creates an odd external linking error with LCL projects. I've posted this issue on the FreePascal forum https://forum.lazarus.freepascal.org/index.php/topic,66544.0.html?PHPSESSID=7pjdelufil3khesevdm63h2eu5 and it seems the latest stable build of Lazurus 3.2 with FPC 3.2.2 hosted on Sourceforge allows external linking just fine with the -Xe flag for LCL projects.

Testing the Lazarus build with fpcupdeluxe and configuring it for the FPC build from the Sourceforge release allows the external linker to build the LCL project properly as well. I've been using the trunk FPC, but also built a 3.2.2 release in fpcupdeluxe which throws the same obscure linking error.
