Hi, using the steps below, I managed to compile the latest FPC snapshot

updating the paths in Environment Options, i tried to rebuild Lazarus
v0.9.31 using the FPC binaries i just compiled, but got the following
errors. I tried researching on that error, but no luck. Grateful for
any pointer. Thanks.
It compiled for me yesterday afternoon, but there were runtime errors in
generated code. I'll try again presently in case somebody was working on
it when I SVNed Lazarus.

I wonder why fpc.cfg hasn't been correctly set up with an $fpcversion
macro, but instead has a hardcoded version number? This is something I
noticed last week when compiling 2.4.4 on a system that already had
2.4.2, but I very rarely use Windows as a development platform.
One thing I do notice as a general point is that 0.9.3x appears to be
sensitive to version-specicivities in the files in the .lazarus
directory. If experiencing runtime problems delete it and start over.
