I'm using the Delphi 5 command-line compiler to do a build. The build does not report any errors, however it does not generate the EXE file either.

I can confirm the following:

* Doing the same build via the IDE behaves correctly.
* There is no difference in the source code or options between IDE vs. DCC32 build.
* The problem occurrs only on a full build. I.e. doing a build first with -B option and followed by one without, the 'compile' correctly generates the EXE file.
* Using the -E switch on the command-line to force an invalid build output path doesn't report an error -- as if there isn't even an attempt to generate the EXE file.
* Other projects do build correctly.
* I have disabled anti-virus software and so can confirm that that is not the problem.

EDIT
Although I experienced this with Delphi 5, it is not specific to that version. The [Delphi Bug List](http://buglist.jrsoftware.org/generated/entry0625.htm) confirmed the issue in at least D4-D6.
