It is.

You just built "an" FPC 3.0.1, not "the" FPC 3.0.0. Those are two very different things. To build FPC 3.0.0, you have to check out http://svn.freepascal.org/svn/fpc/tags/release_3_0_0/

The first part of that message is an artefact related to us sometimes supporting two starting versions (such as right now, when both 2.6.4 and 3.0.0 are supported). In that case the error message only displays one of the two supported versions.
Please do not use the workaround Sven provided, but just start your build with FPC 3.0.0.
