Pascal compilation

I hope that the answer to this isn't blindingly obvious....

I have a Pascal program, and two Alphastations. I only have a Pascal Compiler
on one of them. I need to run the Pascal program on the other one.

I've compiled and linked on the machine with the compiler; but when I transfer
the executable it fails to run, because of a missing /usr/shlib/libpas.so
The only routines required from the file are file IO.

I've tried copying that file, and the object file from the compilation and
linking on the target machine. The resulting executable dumps core.
This may be because the machines have different versions of dUnix: the one with
the compiler is 3.2B, the target machine is 3.2C

I've tried linking with /usr/lib/libpas.a instead; this gives several undefined
references, some of which I find in /usr/lib/libc.a, but one of which is only
found in libpas.a, proving that I've done something wrong!

Is there some way I can build an executable on one machine which includes all
its dependencies in one file which will run on the target machine? I've
RTFManpage, but obviously don't understand it :-)

Cheers,
Gordon
