I guess that explicitly adding a directory to the include path makes  
the compiler more strict regarding checking for include files in that  
directory. Maybe that was done before we had -Ur option to avoid at  
least some problems with include file name conflicts if they were only  
in the current directory.

Using standard FPC units that were not compiled with -Ur is  
unsupported in a deployment environment.
