Set a breakpoint on find_system_by_string in systems.pas to find out.

That's because you didn't update compiler/msg/errore.msg (when you do,  
make sure that you also commit compiler/msgtxt.inc and compiler/ 
msgidx.inc afterwards). That text is not automatically extracted from  
the system info's (although it would actually be nice that were done).
