First of all, there's been an error in CVS, but this has been fixed in between. However, you'll probably have to start cycling with a 1.0.10 compiler. This is a general rule - if cycling doesn't work with the snapshot, try to start with the latest official _release_ version (not beta!) - this rule should be added to the build FAQ probably.
I don't want to critize you, but I think, a 1.9.3 should be able to compile a newer 1.9.3. If not, then it's time to increase the version number.
Then we would have once per week a new version number. It happens quite often that the a one day old cvs version can't compile the current cvs compiler because either of a new feature or simply a bug in the older compiler. That's why we have the very simple rule: start building a new compiler with the lastest stable release.
In this case the rtl/unix/dos.pp contains some lines, that look suspicious to me:
{$ifdef HASTHREADVAR} {$ifdef VER1_9_2} var {$else VER1_9_2} threadvar {$endif VER1_9_2} {$else HASTHREADVAR} var {$endif HASTHREADVAR}
I added these conditions to allow bootstrapping on PowerPC. Because there is no 1.0.10-ppc is available, we can use only 1.9.2.
