When it happens the next time, do a 
make clean > clean.txt
ls -lR >> clean.txt

and send me the output.

Maybe a file is missing in the lcl.lpk?

For your interest:
Eventually I want to add a quick fix item, to check if the missing unit
belongs to a package. Then it could check if the source file is in the
lpk and ask to add it and/or to recompile the package.
This feature is needed anyway, because there are some corner cases
that the IDE can not detect.
