This is part of what I need to check.
Maybe I need to fix that.
However I can
find https://salsa.debian.org/pascal-team/castle-game-engine/-/commit/d9783821a88f560fa4741e7ed8b06ecce0ffb05e
 which makes me think that this is not needed because by
default ${FPCDIR}/units/* is already included by /etc/fpc.cfg file.

All this need that I dig into it more deeply, but lacking time.

No, but the commit
was https://salsa.debian.org/pascal-team/fpc/-/commit/5314a79167eb59d700772e8df07b8c647ede32c9
This was accepted by upstream as you can see
in https://salsa.debian.org/pascal-team/fpc/-/blob/master/fpcsrc/compiler/options.pas?ref_type=master#L2866
