That's because the old dialog compiles the LCL before the FCL (package
registration). This was changed with the redesign of this dialog in
0.9.29. Technically the reordering was ok, because the LCL package
registration was in the IDE. Now the LCL package registration is in the
LCL as any other package. I changed the order in one of my commits some
hours ago, but a lazarus 0.9.29 - 0.9.31 has the wrong order.
For the 0.9.30 we should change the order, so it can compile a 0.9.31.

Then compile first the package registration, then the LCL and then the
IDE.
