Sorry, I should have added to the last message that a new checkout
(deleting the entire target directory tree first) via fpcupdeluxe
built correctly, but still showed the same errors with 'i' and 'm'.
The only difference in the compilation (that I know of) with
fpcupdeluxe is that it's using the trunk version of fpc as well as of
lazarus.
