Hi everyone,
GPC version 20011202 has been uploaded to the usual places, CVS and FTP:

Something seems to be broken in the handling of units. For example, this program;
program broken; uses system; var x : integer = 123456; begin Writeln (lo (x)); Writeln (hi (x)); end.
will generate compile-time errors if "system.pas" is not found. This is so even though the precompiled unit binaries (system.gpi and system.o) are where they should be. The program compiles okay under previous versions (well, at least up till 20010623, which I have been using until now).
History: in the past, I have always been able to build all the standard units (in the "units" directory), and then move the sources elsewhere, while leaving the .gp? and .o files where they were. GPC was always able to link the object files without problem. This feature now seems to be broken. Is this deliberate or a side effect of something else?
