Well, I installed the fpc 1.0.5 from the Lazarus web site and it
compiles the sources from CVS without any problems. So you are right
that the makefiles are setup to work with the release compiler.

Is it possible to setup the makefiles so that it works either way? It
seems like it should work regardless of where the compiler is installed.
Once the compiler guys get the 1.1 compiler fixed, some people may want
to start using it to build lazarus. But the way the makefiles are
currently setup, they couldn't do that.
