Well, the failed test *was* with FPC compiled from sources with last change date
on github a week ago, i.e. head I believe...

I have not been able to build anything else on this 64 bit machine.

But I gave up and used apt to install fpc 3.2.2:
sudo apt install fpc

After removing the symlinks to the self-compiled fpc version I could use the apt
retrieved compiler and then Lazarus built to the end and is now running fine.

But going forward I don't know how to handle future upgrades to the compiler.
Will Lazarus complain if I get the next version of fpc to my system via a normal
update/upgrade cycle? Since it is done by apt it may well change in the future
without me noting.

Or do I have to reconfigure something at that time?
