As is always told in such situation: compiling trunk (2.7.1) or fixes 
head (2.6.1) is ONLY supported by the last released version of FPC 
(2.6.0) and a compiler of the exact same revision (mostly for cross 
compilation). Everything else is not guaranteed to work. The error above 
is the result you get when compiling trunk from an older trunk version, 
which is not supported.
