yep, in this case it seems my fault.

I have my own batch file. As for example I try to avoid compiling the 
examples (which I believe "make all" does). To me it's just time, I do 
not want to spent waiting....

     make.exe  rtl  packages  compiler     OPTIMIZE=1 OPT="-O3 -Or 
-CpPENTIUMM -OpPENTIUMM"   FPC=C:\FPC\strunc\bin\i386-win32\ppc386.exe

I ended up with that order, because if I recall correctly, make compiler 
did need the packages, or something like that?
