Just updated to r25228, I can no longer build fpc.

2.6.2 dies with:

/usr/bin/ppc386 -Ur -Ur -Xs -O2 -n -Fi../inc -Fi../i386 -Fi../unix -Fii386 -FE. -FU/media/Sources/lazarus-fpc/fpc/rtl/units/i386-linux -di386 -dRELEASE -Us -Sg system.pp
Fatal: Compilation aborted

$080667DD

while 2.7.1 (2013-05-04, don't know the revision) gets:

/usr/bin/ppc386 -Ur -Ur -Xs -O2 -n -Fi../inc -Fi../i386 -Fi../unix -Fii386
-FE. -FU/media/Sources/lazarus-fpc/fpc/rtl/units/i386-linux -di386 -dRELEASE

systemh.inc(1002,42) Error: Type "FarPointer" is not completely defined
system.pp(48,34) Fatal: There were 4 errors compiling module, stopping
Fatal: Compilation aborted

I don't know what triggers that error with 2.6.2, but...

... you don't need to test older 2.7.1 versions to compile a current 2.7.1, because this is not supported anyway.

It works fine here:

I retry with 2.6.0 and it seems to work, maybe something's wrong with my 2.6.2 (I forgot how I get it)
