What I say above is from a crosscompiler made with 2.6.0.
Below is what I get when I try to make a new crosscompiler, using svn 
20278.

That's what I think I did.
I had fpc 2.6.0 installed.
I downloaded fpc trunk via svn.
In the root of the download I did "make clean build install" (as root).
I renamed /usr/lib64/fpc/2.6.0 to -2.6.0- so it would not be found.
I renamed /usr/bin/ppcx64 to ppcx64-2.6.0.
I made a link from /usr/lib/fpc/2.7.0/ppcx64 to /usr/bin/ppcx64.
I modified /etc/fpc.cfg to use /usr/lib/fpc/2.7.0...
fpc -i shows 2.7.1
In the root of the download I tried to make the crosscompiler and then I 
got the error.

Is there a way to verify there are no files left ? I tried fpc -vt but 
that seems not the tool.

Thanks,

Koenraad.
