Delete the ppus of the project. 
Check the project search paths in the compiler options.
The project unit search paths should *not* contain any package
directory, because this is done by the IDE automatically (see the
inherited page in the compiler options).

Check for duplicate unit and include file names.

About the checksum bug:
Compile your package twice. If the second time the compiler compiles
two units again, you suffer from the bug.
