It doesn't. On most platforms, it does compile the IDE and installer though.

The compiler does not depend on packages. Furthermore, it's wrong to  
compile the compiler only once. The main makefile does not use the  
"compiler_cycle" just to test the compiler. It's a fundamental step of  
the bootstrap process.

I would strongly recommend to use the "make all" target unless you are  
intimately familiar with the details of FPC's bootstrapping. You can  
add NOWPOCYCLE=1 to speed it up a little.
