In 1.1 I added proper support for the construct mentioned above. If you encounter problems, please inform me either using this mailing list or better via the bug reporting system.

Well. I posted to the bug list already, but since I saw this message in the archives I figured I'd also post here. While trying to get lazarus to work with 1.1 I discovered that this type of declaration causes problems, specifically with TComponent's, it acts as though it redeclares the <another id>, as <id> which kills compiling. I noticed this specifically with longints, aka

type
   TNewInt = type longint;
   TNewClass = Class(TComponent)
   end;

would cause the compiler to bomb out with

Compiling bugtest.pp
bugtest.pp(11,16) Error: overridden methods must have the same return type: "TObject.SafeCallException(TObject,Pointer) : LongInt" is overriden by "TComponent.SafeCallException(TObject,Pointer) : LongInt" which has another return type
bugtest.pp(16) Fatal: There were 1 errors compiling module, stopping

however doing

type
   TNewInt = type longint;
   TNewInt2 = longint;
   TNewClass = Class(TComponent)
   end;

would work fine(at least, it compiles without error).
