[fpc-pascal] FreeBSD failure compiling fpdoc 2.7.1

  Did you check what happens when you call
gmake install ?

 One of the problems I often get is that
I have a release compiler in the path.
In that case the outcome of 'fpc-iSOSP..'
is used to generated the sub-directory into which
the generated libraries will be stored...

So often I end up with
  BASE_271_DIR/lib/fpc/2.7.1
but also
  BASE_271_DIR/lib/fpc/2.6.0
which contains the newly installed linraries...

 I don't exactly know when, and when not,
this problem shows up.
  A good solution to avoid it is to put
your trunk compiler binary in the path before the release
compiler.
