Some small comments
Powerpc: The 603 has floating point alignment requirements iirc. If he has a 603, check what the default ppc processor is, and if it is a ppc603 (quite old, think 100-200 MHz range) try to specify codegeneration for a ppc603
ncurses:
The addition of library to external symbols is standard delphi syntax. I think it has to do with the way Windows loads DLLs (OS X also seems to require it sometimes, Mach O can have multiple namespaces IIRC).
A nice sideeffect could be that it allows the linker to better pinpoint the cause of a missing symbol (not symbol x is missing, but symbol x is missing from lib y), but LD doesn't do that yet.

Perhaps you and/or Marco will help me figure out a pascal graphics issue.
I've looked at the Gnu Plotutils libplot library. It seems to provide the capabilities fpimage, fpcanvas, etc. provide in fpc's new pre-2.0 release (I don't really know)??
I only ask because binding pascal to libplot seemed like a simple enough, yet meaningful project for me. When browsing the web I found this;

I like the versatility of Gnu libplot. But appreciate advice. You all move so fast.
Thanks, Rick.
