Seems I have to do that.
Many thanks for the help.

as for my desire of building the compiler optimized and the rtl with 
debug info (Never tested if there is any gain in it, apart from the 
piece of mind which can be found in believe...).

After building the compiler, which now is;
  make.exe clean distclean
  make.exe all   LINKSMART=1  CREATESMART=1  OPTIMIZE=1  OPT="-O3 -Or 
-CpPENTIUMM -OpPENTIUMM"  TARGET_EXAMPLES=NO FPC=c:\FPC\SVN\ppc386_2_4_0.exe
  make.exe install  INSTALL_PREFIX=c:\FPC\strunc\  COPYTREE=echo 
UPXPROG=echo

I rebuild/reinstall the rtl/packages (using the fpc that was build above)
  make.exe rtl_clean packages_clean
  make.exe rtl packages    LINKSMART=1  CREATESMART=1  DEBUG=1 
OPTIMIZE=0  OPT="-gl -gw -godwarfsets -O1" 
FPC=c:\FPC\strunc\bin\i386-win32\fpc.exe   TARGET_EXAMPLES=NO
  make.exe rtl_install packages_install INSTALL_PREFIX=c:\FPC\strunc\  
COPYTREE=echo UPXPROG=echo  FPC=c:\FPC\strunc\bin\i386-win32\fpc.exe


How much trouble are I am in for? It appears to have worked fine until now.
