[fpc-devel]'= type pointer' doesn't work in package?

I was trying to get the gtk2 headers into a normal fpc package format
and discovered that while for instance glib2 will compile with no issue
with fpc directly, when compiled as a package within an fpc 1.0.7
tree(from yesterday), it raises an error "cannot create unique type from
this type" and then a compiler panic 99999 on 

   PGMemChunk = type pointer; // internal structure of gmem.c
   PGAllocator = type pointer; // internal structure of gmem.c

this happens anywhere in the gtk2 code where '= type pointer' is used.
commenting out the 'type' everything works.

any ideas why? is this a bug with a flag passed to packages?

I have not tried this with 1.1 yet.
