This bug occurs because wrong encoding while opening config files.

It was fixed to fpc 2.4.4 in revision 32773

It seems to occur with fpc 2.7.1

FPC 2.7.1 is unstable mostly due to changes in encoding and is not good 
idea to use with Lazarus (or at production at all).

So:

1) stick with fpc 2.4.4 or 2.6 branch (highly suggested)
2) move your config files to a folder without accents and use 
--primary-/config/-/path/
