"Text" to "TextRec"

after updating the compiler sources from SVN.

Free Pascal Compiler version 2.7.1 [2012/05/22] for i386

You have to use the latest release version to compile svn-trunk, which is 2.6.0.

Building development versions of FPC always has been and always will be guaranteed to work only if you start with the latest *release* version.
