Did you check what happens when you call gmake install ? One of the problems I often get is that I have a release compiler in the path. In that case the outcome of 'fpc-iSOSP..' is used to generated the sub-directory into which the generated libraries will be stored... So often I end up with BASE_271_DIR/lib/fpc/2.7.1 but also BASE_271_DIR/lib/fpc/2.6.0 which contains the newly installed linraries... I don't exactly know when, and when not, this problem shows up. A good solution to avoid it is to put your trunk compiler binary in the path before the release compiler.
