Compiling with this option makes no difference. It will still compile
and require the gpm library.
Any other suggestion ? IHMO, A console app that just uses the KeyBoard
should not need the gpm library in it's binary :)

From your answer I understand that you are recompiling Keyboard unit with -dNOMOUSE, which is pointless. I wrote (maybe it was not clear enough, sorry) that you should recompile _Mouse_ unit (not Keyboard unit).
If this is not the case and you're doing as I said (recompiling Mouse unit), you should make sure that you're really linking your program with the newly compiled Mouse unit. E.g. you can check this by adding a small Writeln('something...') to initialization section of Mouse unit or by compiling with -vu.
If you're 100% sure that you're compiling your program with Mouse unit that does not require Gpm unit than it means that some other unit uses Gpm unit (I assume here that there is no other unit that links to libgpm library directly, without using Gpm unit). There is not such unit in FPC 1.0.10 RTL, but that doesn't mean anything... So in this case you should use Peter Vreman's advice and recompile program with -vu to see what other unit uses Gpm unit.
