Maybe the binary release is corrupt. Does anyone else has the same problem?

Normally, you only have to set the freepascal compiler path in the environment->general options.

No.
The lcl sources can be found in 
<lazarusdir>/lcl/ and <lazarusdir>/lcl/include/

These sources are compiled and the resulting ppu files are stored in
<lazarusdir>/lcl/units/

But this is only the widget independent part.
For gtk there are additional sources in
<lazarusdir>/lcl/interfaces/gtk/

which will be compiled to
<lazarusdir>/lcl/units/gtk/


So you have to add
-Fu<lazarusdir>/lcl/units/ -Fu<lazarusdir>/lcl/units/gtk/

to the compiler to compile lcl programs.
Also have a look on the FAQ on the website.
