sorry, i correlated the two issues because both caused my identifier
completion to fail.

no warnings (except duplicate ppu for apache units in fpc), the
project builds fine.  it's a similar situation as with fpc having its
compiled units in one place, and the source in another.  so i specify
the unit dir as /path/to/compiledunits/$(TargetCPU)-$(TargetOS), and i
specify the path to all the source so the ide can find it for
completion, etc.

it just seems to be that it doesn't find the source if it's in a
different directory to the source of the unit you are clicking on
(does that make sense?).
