It works here under linux. 
(I extended the example so that you can now set the FPCTARGET
environment variable to see the 'cross compile' results. I set
FPCTARGET to win32, so I browsed the sources as if under windows).

Do you use the same paths in the IDE and does it work there?
For example can you add the 'windows' unit to a
uses section and find the windows.pp? And then find the base.inc?
(find = via find declaration)
