Tha cannot be a real solution.

Also, that line has been in that unit for at least 8 years AFAICS.
But I have build fpc trunk several times in the past before, without
such an error.
And yes, I've built trunk with 3.2.2 as a starting compiler before.

Since the last time I built trunk, the only change I made to my
computer is installing a git client (commandline version).
My windows is up to date.

So, this baffles me.
