This little utility patches /usr/bin/ld to silence the annoying warning that appears when compiling with fpc:
Free Pascal Compiler version 3.0.2 [2017/07/25] for x86_64
Copyright (c) 1993-2017 by Florian Klaempfl and others
Target OS: Linux for x86-64
Compiling main.pas
Linking main
/usr/bin/ld: warning: link.res contains output sections; did you forget -T?
5 lines compiled, 0.1 sec
This warning has existed for years and neither ld nor fpc seems to think it's annoying enough to fix.
After running ldfpcfix as root, if ld exists in /usr/bin/ld, the output is:
Free Pascal Compiler version 3.0.2 [2017/07/25] for x86_64

Read the sources if you need to verify exactly what ldfpcfix does.
It's not pretty, but it works. Don't use it if you don't like it.
