[fpc-devel] Rebuild Lazarus fails for some reason

[ABorka]

Hi Michael,

Yes it was compiled when "make all" was called the first time, because 
c:\lazarus\ideintf\units\i386-win32\ contains componenttreeview.ppu and 
componenttreeview.o and both has the same date/time as all the other 
units there (obviously, because all of them were created with the "make 
all" command at once in step 5).
That is why it is very strange why this is happening.
It is a totally clean svn checkout and compilation, and without doing 
anything within Lazarus, Im just trying to do a Tools->Rebuild Lazarus 
from menu after Lazarus is first started. Of course, I got the error 
originally when tried to add a package so I tried to track back what the 
problem is.
But even with a clean FPC/Lazarus SVN checkout and build this problem is 
there.

I have no idea why it wants to recompile this unit, when nothing 
changed, no packages added or removed, its just a simple rebuild Lazarus 
from the Tools menu after a clean install.
