You missed an important information. If I type (with `eof.pas' beeing
your file):
../gpc-3.4.3/gcc/xgpc -B../gpc-3.4.3/gcc/ -O -ftransparent-file-names -fstandard-pascal eof.pas
./a.out

I get:
NOT eof of namebook
NOT eof of namelist

However, if I type:
../gpc-3.4.3/gcc/xgpc -B../gpc-3.4.3/gcc/ -O --transparent-file-names eof.pas
./a.out

I get:
eof of namebook
eof of namelist

Both with my (modified) copy of gpc-20041218 on Linux. Yes, standard requires
that you get EOF on empty file.
