And for those who are wondering why Jonas is making such a big point out 
of this: http://bugs.freepascal.org/view.php?id=26930 (Just a bug report 
from today)

We get this kind of bugs, questions and comments all the time. All from 
people who try to build trunk-with-trunk, while they do not know what 
they are doing.

That must stop. So, please, please, *never* say you can/have to build 
fpc-trunk with fpc-trunk. (Unless it's the same revision)
