[Bug 275688] Re: License issue: please sync fpc 2.2.2-4 (universe) from Debian unstable (main)

[Paul Gevers]

> With respect to the building problems, could it be that the build
system is poluted with an older install ? A FPC build should be always
the same, so the logical conclusion is that there is something different
on the buildmachines. (IOW a different version installed to bootstrap,
one a full version, one only the cmdline compiler)

I am pretty sure that it is. The build system contains the current
version of fpc in *that* release. That means that the version of fpc
that builds the new one gets older as we move to older Ubuntu releases.
There is no bootstrapping involved in the building (AFAICT).

So if I understand your remark correctly, it is very well possible that
these older versions are just unable to build the new version? Could you
indicate how that might be solved?
