As far as I remember there was some change in the combinations of -FU
and -FE. I don't remember the details. I doubt that this is

The codetools rules for the FPC sources may need adjustments.

The IDE asks the compiler via the -i option about its target platform. I
don't know if this option already worked the same in FPC 1.x.
