It's better to compile "packages" like rtl and fcl only once, because
1. some units (especially System.pp) require special options, include 
paths, etc (we supply makefiles for a reason)
2. if you compile your project with debug options you'll step into 
rtl/fcl/etc. sources each time you debug (and this can get very annoying 
if it jumps into e.g. the lowlevel dynamic array handling routines)
