With a trunk starting compiler this:
make "FPC=/home/odroid/working/fpcbootstrap/ppcarm_intermediate"
"--directory=/home/odroid/working/fpctrunk" "OVERRIDEVERSIONCHECK=1"
"OPT=-dFPC_ARMHF -Cparmv7a -CaEABIHF -CfVFPv3"

gives

You have overriden the starting compiler versioncheck while using
starting compiler version 2.7.1. This situation is not supported and
strange things and errors may happen. Remove OVERRIDEVERSIONCHECK=1 to
fix this.

and stops.

However, this:
make "FPC=/home/odroid/working/fpcbootstrap/ppcarm_intermediate"
"--directory=/home/odroid/working/fpctrunk"  "OPT=-dFPC_ARMHF -Cparmv7a
-CaEABIHF -CfVFPv3" all

gives

Makefile:2731: *** The only supported starting compiler version is
2.6.2. You are trying to build with 2.7.1. If you are absolutely sure
that the current compiler is built from the exact same version/revision,
you can try to use OVERRIDEVERSIONCHECK=1 to override .  Stop.

and stops.

Yes, I really want to try building fpc trunk with a previous trunk FPC
binary. Is there an OVERRIDEOVERRIDEVERSIONCHECK available that allows this?
