So what happened here is that I as a new user on Windows decided I needed the
compiler first so I downloaded the most recent version 3.2.2. After that I
wanted to use lazbuild and some Lazarus libraries so I installed that next.
Problem was Lazarus uses "fpc" as the compiler path and due to the installation
order that pointed to the newer version of FPC which wasn't compatible with the
3.2.0 units compiled in Lazarus.
Maybe Lazarus should by default point to the version of the compiler that comes
packaged with it? That would eliminate a bunch of the confusion I had and when
I wanted to change the compiler version I would have had to set it explicitly
myself and triggered the error but at least then I would know it was because of
something I did.
