Better do a (in compiler dir)

  make install rtlinstall

after the make cycle

This will install the new compiler and the RTL as well.

These steps can be skipped if you did the make rtlinstall.

You better switch this, first compile the packages and then the FCL
(the FCL uses some of the packages).

Starting from the compiler dir:

  cd ..\packages
  make clean all
  make install
  cd ..\fcl\win32
  make clean all
  make install

This should be OK.
