In this file:

https://gitlab.com/freepascal.org/fpc/build/-/blob/main/.gitlab-ci.yml?ref_type=heads

comment out (add `#` at line start) lines 20, 21, 26-30.

Note that these changes may not be optimal. I see that Florian wrote 
this script, so it would be best if he will look at it.

On a side note.

Here:

https://gitlab.com/freepascal.org/fpc/build/-/jobs/5498828229

I see the following errors:

Parser error: ../fpcsrc/rtl/linux/osdefs.inc (34,47): 
../fpcsrc/rtl/linux/osdefs.inc(34,47) : "identifier" expected, but "EOF"

So I would think that FPDoc has some problems too. Maybe after they are 
fixed, documentation build process will be able finish, albeit probably 
with incorrect result. But it will anyway improve the situation by an 
order of magnitude.
