When using a trunk compiler (that was a given from OP) the only way to

svn update rtl compiler

make cycle PP=latest-release # now you have latest rtl & compiler ready to
install.
make install
That's incorrect, you never need an explicit "make cycle". Simply do the
following in the top level FPC directory:
make distclean
svn up
make FPC=latest-release all -j ncpus FPMAKEOPT="-T ncpus"
make install
The top-level "make all" already includes a "make cycle" and will also
compile packages and utils
Voila, that's even easier...
my own script has several options to disable/enable certain steps,
which is why I explicitly separate out the various stages.
The point I was trying to get across, however, is that the above is the
only correct way of getting FPC up-to-date for a trunk compiler:
you need to cycle (explictly, or implicit using make all)
