Talk:Compile and Develop on Maemo device

I don't understand the purpose of this part of the instructions:

In order to avoid this, go to compiler/systems and change t_linux.pas so that it contain path to the /lib/ld-linux.so.3 instead of /lib/ld-linux.so.2, because we do not have /lib/ld-linux.so.2 on Maemo4 and Maemo5. This is a [quote] from the freepascal mailing list:

FPC svn trunk already selects ld-linux.so.3 for Linux/ARM when compiling with -dFPC_ARMEL: http://svn.freepascal.org/svn/fpc/trunk/compiler/systems/t_linux.pas (search for FPC_ARMEL, first hit). This code is even already in FPC 2.4.x. -dFPC_ARMEL is automatically defined by a native ARMEL compiler, so this code will also be used when running the native ARM compiler on your phone. No source modifications are necessary to compile/cycle FPC on Linux/ARMEL platforms (it works fine on e.g. Beagleboard and Tegra)
