I tried to build FreePascal 2.5.1 using FPC 2.4.2 and when it comes to
generating the .fpc.cfg using samplecfg there is an error message about -p
option not present.

When I use the just built fpc 2.5.1 it is okay. Did some regression creep
into the 2.4.2 version?

The fpcmkcfg that comes with 2.4.2 has a problem, so I modified my script,
copying the newly built version samplecfg into my on ~/bin directory for the
build to succeed.
