Yes, I do.  I was able to compile fpc from 
http://svn.freepascal.org/svn/fpc/trunk successfully, but not 
http://svn.freepascal.org/svn/fpcbuild.  I assumed that fpbuild is the 
repository I would want for current fpc, lazarus, and other tools all in 
one.  I'm having major issues in figuring out which online documentation 
is even remotely current, and which should be ignored.  I'm reminded of 
the old days playing Zork and finding my way out of the maze of twisty 
little passages... :)
