OK. Well I just saw that -Fu../../units/linux path in there and assumed you
were using the ppc386.cfg file since that is not one of the standard paths.
Sorry for the incorrect assumption.

Sorry. I know you have been doing this for a long time. I really didn't mean to
offend you. Like I said above, I saw that path and just assumed that it could
be causing problems because it caused me a ton of headaches when I was using
it. I was just trying to help. But I will be more careful about trying to help
from now on.

I just told you how. It was on Red Hat Linux 6.0 with patches up to 2.2.9. Here
are the exact steps I did. I can do it again and send you the output if you
don't believe me:

cd /opt/fpc
cvs -z3 update base api fcl lazarus gtk rtl compiler gdbpas ide utils gdbint fv
fpinst
cd rtl
make clean
cd ../compiler
make cycle
cd ..
mv ppc386 ppc386.0728
cp compiler/ppc386 .
cd rtl
make clean
make
cd ../fcl
make clean
make
cd ../gtk
make clean
make
cd ../api
make clean
make
cd ../lazarus/lcl
make clean
make
cd ..
make clean
make lazarus

I just did this one and a half hours ago and it worked fine for me.
