[fpc-devel] Building trunk of today fails on Windows: Error:Invalid DLL C:\WINDOWS\system32\common.dll, invalid header size

[J. Gareth Moreton]

It might be to do with the order that directories are searched. If it finds the 64-bit version 
ghost, then it will throw an error. I've requested to change the error to a warning instead in the 
post, but was shot down.
