Could you elaborate on that? Do I need to run the test suite with the
old compiler first?

While "make cycle" is useful as a first test, for a complete testsuite
run you also need the packages. So before running the testsuite, run a
"make all" in the top level FPC directory (possibly preceded by an "rm
build*" in case make says that nothing needs to be done for "all").
Also, if you do this regularly and have a multicore, you can speed up
things significantly by using (replace "x" with the number of cores
you have, or the number of cores+1 if you have a slow hard drive or
are performing a cold build)
a) for the fpc make all: make all -j x FPMAKEOPT="-T x"
b) for the testsuite: make full TEST_OPT="-O2" -j x
(the testsuite "full" target is equivalent to "clean all digest", but
written in a way that makes all dependencies explicit so that parallel
building works correctly)
