I always do...

  make clean
  <svn update>
  make all FPC=<last stable FPC release>

This always seems to work. I assume 'make all' gets translated to a
'make cycle' somehow? Or have I just been lucky for the last 5 years
doing it my way?


What's the difference between 'all' and 'cycle' options?

make cycle also gives you the latest compiler binary.

Since the original poster is using a trunk compiler, I assume he also wants the compiler updated, because the RTL compiled with the latest release is useless for the installed trunk compiler: It can only be used for compilation with the latest release compiler.
