As I said, your problem is unrelated to the merge, and the merge did not break compiling the compiler. Prior to the merge, DefaultSystemCodePage was
a)  already in the RTL of the cpstrnew branch
b)  already used in the compiler of the cpstrnew branch.

If everything compiled fine for you before, then maybe you had a compiled version of the cpstrnew branch somewhere that is no longer used now (maybe because a ppu version changed, or because it wasn't compiled with -Ur and the compiler is finding new versions of RTL sources, ...).

As mentioned in other mails, the compilation order is "first the new RTL, then the new compiler"
