According to Bernhard Tschirren:
> {$L filename} does not work with library files. For example {$L libgrx.a}
> does not work because GPC tries to link 'libgrx.o' !?

Ups - sorry, I should not produce such trivial errors.

One problem remains with this: GPC does not search the `-L' directories,
but only checks the current one.
