The error message suggests that you are trying to compile the cpstrnew compiler against an RTL from a different version. The cpstrnew compiler depends on the cpstrnew RTL.

The normal process is "make all" in the top level fpc directory, or "make cycle" in the fpc/compiler directory. Both first compile the new RTL. It's the opposite that sometimes has to be done: the RTL always has to be compilable by older compilers.
