I always do...

make all FPC=<last stable FPC release>
This always seems to work. I assume 'make all' gets translated to a
'make cycle' somehow? Or have I just been lucky for the last 5 years
doing it my way?
What's the difference between 'all' and 'cycle' options?
"make cycle" only works in the compiler directory and is used internally by a
"make all" to compile a new compiler in the correct way and to ensure that it
can compile itself again.
Normal users don't need "make cycle".
They do when using a trunk compiler. Not if using the released compiler.
