This is a bug in FPC and not in Lazarus build system. The issue is that FPC generates near call (22 bits) on SPARC machines instead of long calls (32 bits). This prevent huge applications like Lazarus to link.
The reason this appears only after splitting the packages is that now Lazarus is built with all components and not only a short list. This leads to have a largest binary and thus triggering this link error. A quick workaround will be to reduce the number of components to be shipped with Lazarus for sparc platform until this bug is resolved by FPC team.
