I did not used these tips (yet) but I think something wrong in
"Lazarus Build menu command", trunk version.
I got the new sources of trunk; compiled with fixes_2_6 (2.5.1) with
sucess; open the IDE (using my pcp directory with my environment and
packages configurations) and clicked 'Install/Unistall packages' and
chose one package just to "refresh" the packages to show in component
bar; Save and Build button; the IDE reopened with sucess.

So, I tried to compile the IDE using Tools/Build (Clean Up + Build
All) and I got the same error (printscreen) for the first mail on this
thread.

So, I compiled Lazarus with lazbuild tool using the same PCP and...
everything worked.
